But a machete is just normal male attire there right? I hadn't been in Oaxaca for two days before I picked up one for myself. Just seemed the right thing to do.

That was years ago, and Mexico seems like a much tougher nut these days. Keep safe and avoid those "farms."


Normal male attire, yes, and I sure agree that it just seems the right thing to do. But it still kinda throws me for a few seconds when I see someone kneeling in church with a machete hanging from their belt or slid under the kneeler in front of them. It's a bit crazy in some areas here, but I think it's the times and not so much the location. Brum
