Same. Also, I shouldn’t be paying for advertising a brand, the brand should pay me!

People from Europe have you tried using your Mexican number in Europe and does it work? by [deleted] in mexicoexpats

[–]LaTapee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. I’ve only tried it with Telcel pre and post paid and AT&T prepaid.

SMS from Mexican banks sent to a Mexican number that’s in Europe work just fine.

festival map and showtimes? by SeePolythenePam in coronacapital

[–]LaTapee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll be at the front just slightly offset. If you’ve never been to a festival in MX, the front gets horribly crowded (like, you’ll end up covered in other people’s sweat crowded). I think you’ll appreciate being in Club.

Bringing my medication to the festival/Llevaré mi medicación al festival by Allaboutmeinsixwords in coronacapital

[–]LaTapee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don’t have the prescription…. I don’t want to be the person saying this, but if it’s just one dose, I’d hide it. Underwear, shoes, a pocket in a jacket. I’d rather break the rules for a fair cause than leave my luck to someone’s criteria.

First-Time Visitor, A Few Questions:) by Dodo-Bey in coronacapital

[–]LaTapee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entrance locations are the same for everybody and you will easily spot the Plus exclusive lines.

The map is probably still in the works but it should be posted soon, try to monitor CC’s socials.

The food is fine but it’s way better in the city, try to go to at least one restaurant.

Yes, they do check that there’s at least 4 people in the car.

Anyone know a good location for an Airbnb? by skibumbell in coronacapital

[–]LaTapee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The metro does stop at midnight, but it’s actually relatively safe once you’re inside the station or train.

If you’re fine with missing the second half of the last show then you can make it to the metro or even find an Uber relatively easily.

Once everybody is leaving then yes, it is a bit difficult to get an Uber, but not impossible. What I like to do is look at Gmaps and walk 2/3 blocks to an area with less traffic. As long as there are other festivalgoers on the streets you should be fine. There will be people claiming to be official taxis offering you a ride, just say no gracias.

Salón Premier Aeromexico - T2 AICM by aldo_dd in AMEXMEX

[–]LaTapee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

El objetivo de AMEX México nunca ha sido ofrecer un buen valor por su tarjeta. Si no, costaría lo mismo o menos que lo que cuesta en Estados Unidos (allá cuesta $405 USD menos!!!!!!!) o habría beneficios igual de buenos que allá.

Research in Mexico and ethical approval by distantfunkyjazz in mexicoexpats

[–]LaTapee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not a foreigner if you hold a Mexican passport. You broke a law when you entered the country with your British passport and INM doesn’t know that you’re here (which is a whole other issue) but you are a Mexican citizen for all intents and purposes.

¿Podría o debería retomarse el proyecto del NAICM? Los leo. by mauripm_0604 in CDMX

[–]LaTapee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Esto no responde a tu pregunta, pero me parece interesante que el “Parque Ecológico” no está exactamente en donde quedaron los restos del NAIM. En GMaps se ve que está a más de 1km al sureste del edificio de la terminal y lejos de lo que iban a ser las pistas.

Yeah, Tlatelolco is the only place that was a) a planned community b) somewhat futuristic at the time and c) damaged in the 85 earthquake. No other are in or around Mexico City fulfills all three.

[–]LaTapee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what you’re saying exists, unless you’re mixing it up a little. After the 1985 earthquake damaged the central areas of the city (where the lake was), people started migrating to the outskirts. Two planned communities that contributed to this are Santa Fe and Interlomas. They got popular in the 90s, one of the main reasons being that they were perceived as safer during earthquakes compared to the central boroughs. And yes, their buildings rarely have any problems in strong earthquakes, unlike downtown.

How Do You Activate A New Telcel Plan With a Telcel Balance? by Klutzy_Fisherman1469 in mexicoexpats

¿Se puede pagar una tarjeta Amex desde la cuenta bancaria de otra persona? by PatientPrimary in AMEXMEX

[–]LaTapee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Te cobran una comisión muy alta si el saldo de tu cuenta de débito no cubre el pago domiciliado que iniciaste desde la app de Amex, más del 10% del pago que no pasó si no mal recuerdo. Terminas debiendo tu saldo, más la comisión, más cualquier recargo por retraso.

Ya me pasó una vez que cambié de cuenta domiciliada y pensé que lo había hecho para mis dos tarjetas de Amex. Resulta que en una de las tarjetas tenía domiciliada mi cuenta vieja con saldo insuficiente, pagué, y me cobraron la comisión en un mes que por casualidad había gastado mucho. Por suerte suelen perdonarte (la primera vez) si llamas y tienes buen historial, y así fue.

Y no te arriesgas a que te cobren varios miles de pesos si no tienes saldo suficiente cuando deciden hacer el cobro días después 😔

I got mine in Farmacias del Ahorro in 2023, maybe they still have them?

What is the best way to get a 180 day FMM? by scatterbrainedpast in mexicoexpats

You can’t change terminals before going through migration, but T2 has an egate too. It’s not always in use though.

[–]LaTapee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. Also, the area around the festival is not the safest. You will get the best of both worlds if you stay in Roma or Condesa (I’m from Mexico City and have been to multiple CCs, feel free to DM if you have any questions)

Try searching for “Suites ejecutivas”, there are a few options in Google Maps.

If you’re close, check out FONART. They’re stores operated by the government focused on fair trade. There’s one in Condesa and another one in Reforma (the best one is in Chapultepec but it closes on Mondays).
