I will be in Mexico city from 15-23 and i want to take wither half a day or 1 day cooking lesson preferably in english. i have looked online on and searched endlessly, but pretty much all the cooking classes seem to offered in San miguel or Oaxaca. Does anyone know of classes in Mexico city?
Thanks!
I don't know of any, nor have I ever heard of any . . . cooking classes in Mexico City. The closest location I could recommend would be Home Cooking School in Tlaxcala . . . a 1-hour ride from Mexico City by first-class bus.
The best time to visit Mexico is between the months of November and May. While I was there the city experienced a very unseasonal rainstorm but the rain washed the sky clear the city's infamous pollution and I enjoyed terrific views of nearby mountains and snow capped volcanos.
Along the way to Teotihuacan we tried pulque. This is a native Mexican drink and it is wonderful. It is made from cactus and is low in alcohol but high in taste. I am not sure why more outsiders have not tried this drink from the Aztecs. It can be drank plain or with juice.
It goes without saying whenever you travel to Mexico pack Imodium and Pepto Bismol in case of 'turista'.
Imodium is good if you need immediate relief (you have a flight to catch), but since it's best to evacuate the nasty germs causing it, Pepto is better for just slowing you down and making you feel a bit more comfortable.
Natural remedies that supposedly work are acidophillus tablets. They coat the intestinal tract with good bacteria thereby preventing the bad bacteria from having a place to latch on. This is good as preventative measures or if you do contract 'turista' an echinacea/goldenseal combo might also do the trick in getting rid of it. I haven't tested either of these methods myself, just going by net information and health store. I did give my children (5 and 8)acidophillus when I took them for 2 weeks last year and neither of them came down with 'turista' and they got into everything.. Sunscreen!
Don't let the lack of beaches in Mexico City fool you, the sun is as strong. If you're fair skinned, cover up and wear a hat if you plan on hiking around the city.
since i lived in london for a while, policewomen meant tough, cold and banned from smiling. but when i saw the mexican policewomen, that was quite of an experience. first, they SMILED. second, they were so friendly and nice, AND wearing MAKEUP - i didn't feel that i was talking to the police.
there were loads of them, as many as policemen. i was surprised by their quantity to be honest.
i approached two of them as i always wanted to have a photo with a policewoman, you know equality and feminist pictures hunt me all the time!
"senora, hablo ingles?" i asked if they could speak english. but they didn't.
so i took out my camera, and said "foto con mi" pointing that i'd like to take a photo with them. they gave me a yes with such a big smile. gosh! i wanted to bring them back with me to saudi instead of the immature impulsive policemen there!
it was just an interesting experience; a police with a smile... and makeup!
This bar was founded in the late 80's by two writers and started as a place where people would gather to read books or watch theather shows, now it's one of the most popular bars in the city and one of the best for live music, during the day works as a quiet bar-restaurant where a lot of artistic and cultural events take place like theather, performance and presentations of books , and at nights it gets crowded by students and young intelectuals, the bar is divided in three sections and has some nice patios and a terraza
The music it's mainly Rock in Spanish and Covers. Casual
