Mexico is very close to me easy to fly, costs less than $300 or at max $300 to fly roundtrip, I have a lot of trust with the community, I know exactly what I am getting in regards to level of skill and I have the chance to play famous Mexican players on a consistent basis and builds my trust with them and enables me to setup international stuff like what I am doing now all the time. I am going to get to play vs. Luis Cha in 2000/2001, NeoWave whatever, Ivan in 2002 UM this time, Kula in 98UM, 2002 UM, KOFXI, whatever I want, so you guys will see footage of me vs. Kula in two weeks..all of this from going to Mexico on a consistent basis..
Flying to Europe and Asia costs $1,000 per trip roundtrip, and though I have contacts like Dune etc if I am going to spend that amount to train I want it to be well worth it.
Thus for the time being I am levelling up in Juarez, which will soon to be Mexico City and other places in addition to much cheaper places such as Peru, Argentina and all over South America, I mean it costs less to fly to Lima, Peru than it does to fly to Japan..I mean we are talking like 6-700 dollars less.
In regards to variety I'm taking it one step at a time, it will be time for me to go to Mexico City a lot to get variety, then I will start going further and further down South, also going to Asia etc for the tournaments I have planned in the future.
Hope that answers your questions...
