That street, known as “kissing alley’ is now one of the city’s most visited tourist attractions.

Editor's note: In Mexico, no one cares what you look like or what you do. And there are fewer rules. The government doesn’t meddle in your personal or financial affairs. You can do all the things you enjoy…go to the symphony, attend art openings, go fishing, play a round on a designer golf course, or volunteer in the local community…but it could cost you half as much to live here.
