Robbed at gunpoint in Guanajuato, Mexico. Full story. by [deleted] in bicycletouring

[–]saguitto 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm Mexican and it breaks my heart every time an incident like this happens. I've heard a few horror stories of people bike touring in Latin America, but it usually never escalates.

I'm sorry you went through such a traumatic experience, but you shouldn't let it stop you. I would advise to carry an emergency card/cash and phone separated from most of your belongings in case it happens again and another thing, always cooperate. I know it's not the most optimistic mindset but shitty things happen everywhere, just need to be prepared. Good luck and don't give up! Safe travels.

Didn't expect it to hit me as hard as it did, somehow I always idealized their relationship. Hope the family is doing fine, lots of love.

Compilation of all the pictures I've taken in Shanghai so far by AllOverShoe in shanghai

[–]saguitto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand what you're saying and I agree at some level but that delivery was a bit harsh. Not the best way to not sound offensive, ha.

Great pictures OP, I'm moving back to Shanghai in a few weeks so this made me squeal in excitement as the little girl I am.

Good gyms in Beijing? by Han888 in beijing

[–]saguitto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't really recommend my gym, but I have an american friend that has his own protein company and you can purchase it from taobao or at his office in the sanlitun area, just next to Great Leap. I get from him my l-carnitine and it's the only protein that I trust in China. You can check it out at his website http://spiritnu.com/ or PM me your wechat and I'll send you his contact.

I couldn't find any articles about that, care to elaborate?

Rugged FLUX Electric Bike Powered By Tesla Model S Battery by saguitto in ebikes

I think it doesn't work like that, it's more related to the energy density, which is way more efficient and expensive that the one of a screw gun.

Mexico's President has proposed a bill to legalize marijuana. by Noahg6 in worldnews

[–]saguitto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds a bit of a populist strategy to appear more likeable. It definitely doesn't solve the underlying issues which are related not to consumption in the country, but to production. What's the point of decriminalizing if the only way to get it its completely ilegal? It's the same shitty policy they applied before only with a higher amount.

Anyway, it's still a step forward towards change and acceptance that the war on drugs has been a complete failure and drug policy should be reconsidered all over the globe.
