NYC neighborhoods within themselves some of them feel like they belong to different nations around the world.

Part of downtown Los Angeles feels like one suddenly walked into Mexico.

Or maybe threads like this help to put things in context: Can a historian conduct a research doubting the Holocaust?
Godwin's Law applies, after only 20 posts.

How is that different from picking up something in the subtext in any earlier posts specific to Miami or Cancun or Curitiba or Phuket or Bali, which were described as meeting the OP's criteria of "belonging elsewhere"?

Well for one thing the subtext here now seems to include non sequitur diversions involving childish internet memes.

Liverpool in England looks like it should not be in England.

Scousers belong on a different planet, never mind a different country.

It's near North Wales, so probably more Welsh than Scottish.

Has Loreto changed that much recently? I went there in November(sort of the offseason) a few years back and found the town failry deserted--and most of the restaurants I went to outside a few more touristy ones in the main plaza were typical Pacific Coast Mexican fare(and required speaking Spanish). The biggest activity was probably the Mexican kids driving up and down the main seaside drag blaring Norteno music on Friday night. There were a few touristy places catering to tourists, but nothing like the Senor Frogs and Hard Rock cafes that pop up in other Mexican tourist beach resorts. Not even as touristy overall as somewhere like Cabo(or San Felipe, which just seems to be a place for American college kids and retirees for the most part). Much of Baja in general though seems different than the rest of Mexico with the heavy influence from California to the north.
