México City

, , ,

The past two weeks I've been in México city, for work reasons.

The city is the cultural and financial center of the country, full of contrasts.

The city has a lot to offer but also has a lot of traffic, so if you work a normal amount of time you have no chance to enjoy the city. To enjoy it you have two choices... be rich or be bohemian.

Also this city is a big remind that we still are a developing country, the rich are a few and extremly rich, the poor are so poor and a lot of them, middle class exist but their living conditions are bad, the police is so corrupt, the streets are dangerous and in general full of garbage, except the rich neighborhoods that look amazing.

Due to traffic I have little time to enjoy the city, the good thing is that I was in a hotel in the pink zone, one of the nice neighborhoods with tons of nightclubs.

So visiting Mexico city is a true experience, I go too much over there, and know how it works and when people try to take advantage of me, so many locals believe I'm from there.

What a lovely dayeuroCUP 2008

traffic, police, garbage and criminal are the problem of most big cities... that's why I love small ones (at least when it is not about clubbing. for parties still big cities are better smile )

I agree, but there should be a limit of growth of the city, like no more than 8 million, not 28 million people!

And the part that is Azcapotzalco and the northern municipalities that are part of Estado de Mexico reflect the worst of the city, in the State of Mexico the police is the most corrupt ever.
