Sam and I can tell you all about our "One Night in Mexico"

Few years back, we came on vacation to Costa Rica from Montreal. We had like a few hour wait in Mexico City on our return flight home. We were sitting in the bar/restaurant area, conscious of the time. When it was finally our time to head to the gate, we got there and it was empty. Turns out Mexico was not in the same timezone as Costa Rica as we thought, so we missed our connection

We had to stay the night, so we went out on the town and ended up in "Zona Rosa" - The Pink Zone.

One EXPENSIVE Mexican dinner later, we ended up at some strip club. We only had a certain amount of cash on us and let's just say we overspent...

The management didn't find it very amusing. Sam was "escorted" to the hotel to fetch money from the safe at gunpoint, while they kept me "for insurance". Since I figured Sam might not make it back, I decided to enjoy myself instead of just sitting around. I even got a free drink from the manager.

When Sam eventually got back, he freaked at the point I had spent even more money

Lucky enough, he brought a bit extra which allowed us to pay everything off and get kicked out of the club. We had no cash to make it back to the hotel, so we begged some guy and ended up hitchiking.

There's a bit more detail to the story, but that sums up our Mexican Adventure
