Me Gustan La Ciudad De Mexico
Monday, December 4th, 2006I’ve been in Mexico City for over 24 hours now and I LOVE this city already. People told me that Mexicans are obsessed with death. Not really correct from my standpoint. They are obsessed with life and death just happens to be part of it. What I saw last night and today and the people I have met here in the world’s third largest city are unbelievable. I really didn’t get a fair sense of the country and its people in Puerto and Oaxacan. Puerto is a laid-back ocean town. Oaxaca is in a bit of shock right now, probably not what it is normally. I did see some of the traditional village life, but here in Mexico City everyone in the country is represented. I have heard great music, enjoyed Christmas scenes, seen people laughing, smiling and just having a good time. This is a very friendly city. I’m off to meet a new friend for dinner so I will write another day in detail, but I can already ask “why go to London or Paris when Mexico City is just across the border and may be a more interesting place with as much if not more history and culture?” Seriously!
