What my experience of Mexico being "good" was, was that I didn't get treated like a foreigner on my own native continent like in Canada and the more redneck racist parts of the USA.
How you are treated by everyone you encounter on a daily basis is part of the consideration of whether life is "good" or "tolerable" or not.
In Mexico no one treated me like I didn't belong on "their" land or should go back to where I came from - those things I never heard, even with my limited California-Spanglish understanding.
Mexico never treated me like I was "lying" about being Native American and like a liar and everything else seems to flow from that.
