Hmm? There's definitely a "global" world and a not-global world. It's like the website I work on for work. We have clients in Hong Kong, but fortunately we don't need to translate into Cantonese or any other Chinese dialect because all of our clients there speak English better than we could do Cantonese. 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.
