I'm guessing that a lot of these guys that move down there and don't "assimilate" or even give it a chance are the guys that used to come down to monger on vacation. They probably thought how great would it be to live like that 24-7.

Arrogant Americans not even trying to learn the language as if everyone should speak English...I would also bet they are wearing hawaiian shirts to go out to there usual bars.

My last trip I was having coffee at mercado central when two gringos walked up. They never spoke a word of Spanish to say hello or order from the girl and proceeded to bad mouth the USA and how they would never go back. They sounded like some angry old guys who weren't happy with anything. All I could think was "Enjoy your retirement, fellas!"
