The crime rate in Yucatan is relatively low compared to most places in Canada and the United States, or even the rest of Mexico. I’ve lived in Yucatan for 16 years, and I’ve never had a safety issue ever, and most people whom I know who have also lived here for a long time have never had a safety issue, either. 
Shopping in Managua, Nicaragua is like shopping in a mid sized town in the US. There are 2 major shopping malls, and each of them have major department stores.

Two bodies of water surround most of the peninsula of Baja California. On the eastern side is the Sea of Cortez (also known as the Gulf of California), while the western side faces the more familiar Pacific Ocean. These watery expanses merge at what looks like the large, natural arch you've seen pictures of at Baja’s southern tip, Cabo San Lucas, about 750 miles roughly south of the US-Mexican border. At its widest, the peninsula measures about 85 miles from side...
