Why does Mexico have such huge gap between the rich and poor?

Mexico is a country of huge contrasts, where you can find neighborhoods with quality of life rivaling those of Western Europe, located side-by-side to decaying slums that look like Haiti or India.

While Mexico's standard of living is comparable to that of Lebanon or Iran (US$19,500 per capita), the richest neighborhoods, such as the Benito Juarez borough in Mexico City, have the same health, income and education of Germany (US$40,000 per capita, or US$160,000 per household). On the other hand, the poorest areas in southern Mexico have the same quality of life as Yemen or Afghanistan (US$2,000 or less).

Did Mexico not want the Americans live in Texas?

How much is a 1975 Un peso worth?

If it's from Mexico the honest answer is "not much". Mexico's currency plummeted in value due to inflation during the 1980s, so much so that its old currency was withdrawn from circulation and replaced in 1992-93. Old pesos (noted with the "$" sign, just like U.S. dollars) were exchanged for new pesos at the rate of 1000 to 1. The current exchange rate roughly 10 new pesos to one U.S. dollar, so old pesos traded at as little as 1/10,000 of a dollar.

That is, one old peso is worth about 1/100 of a U.S. cent.

What power voltage is in Cancun Mexico?

Most places in Mexico adhere to the NEMA 1-15 (2 flat pins) standard. Some others use the American-adopted NEMA 5-15, which include the third, ground pin. If you are from the US you shouldn't have any trouble to plug your appliances/electronics, but in case your appliance has three pins, you should bring a converter just to be on the safe side.

If you have the European Standard or any other type of connector, you should buy a power converter, as the power grid uses a 110-120 Volt and most European appliances wouldn't charge nor work properly.

When is it rainy season in Mexico?

Mexico is quite an extensive country, with varied climates. You are asking something on the line of "what is the temperature of the United States in the Summer", which includes extremes such as the tropical Hawaii, the cold wastelands of Alaska or the dry deserts of the southwest. Mexico has a warmer climate overall, but specific climates depend on latitude and altitude above sea level:

Cities to the north of the Tropic of Cancer fall within the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts, having up to 42°C (107°F) on summer months.

Cities along the Gulf of Mexico enjoy a humid, warm climate with fairly constant temperatures between 24°C (75°F) and 28°C (83°F).

Towns and cities on the Central Mexican Plateau, as well as those found along the Sierra Madre mountain ranges bellow the 1,000 meter mark (3,300 feet) have relatively constant, pleasant temperatures throughout the year between 16°C (61°F) and 20°C (68°F).

Finally, more northerly locations experience sizable seasonal variations. Above 2,000 meters (6,600 feet), temperatures drop as low as an average yearly range between 8°C (47°F) and 12°C (54°F).

Dental insurance works in Mexico?

There is no one answer to this question. It depends on the insurance company and the dentist involved. Few Mexican dentists accept American insurance.

Many resort areas also have dentists who specialize in treated patients from the USA
