However, when I visit with AG's family, there are huge numbers of people there who don't speak English at all, or very little. Two Hong Kongs.

I'd believe Mexico City is very international. Of course, here in America there's a world of difference between the glittering city of wonders I live in and the quiet desperation that would be an easy bike ride away without traffic.
I was speaking to my inability to get the global elite card. My bank is in the US, but my address and phone number are here. It's only global if you live in the USA. There are dozens of examples. They need a street address and our system doesn't fit. They need a phone number and no place to out a country code. Glaring hypocrisy.
