The hyper-Real World aka "Mexi-loco"

The Real World Hollywood went to Cancun and then they went to Playa del Carmen. Watching this episode was like revisiting all the tourist-infested Americanized and drunken bits of Mexico that my friends and I tried so desperately to stay away from. I was amazed how two different groups of friends could go the same places and have opposite experiences. At my end: the free beaches, historical day trips (tulum, etc), the 30 cent taco places and Playa Walmart (with a mole bar, mmm), the great cheap hostels with interesting peeps, the long public bus rides and inner city experiences. For the Hollywooders: four star hotels that look like the Marriot, private tourist only beaches, swimming with dolphins, cruise rides and fire dancing! All included a way of avoiding the Mexico in Mexico and going for (baja)California with an accent. Well some MTVs never change.
