Monumental city
by acemj
Mexico City is one of the largest cities in the world (I've seen it anywhere from 3rd to 12th on lists of the world's largest cities) and it has plenty of monumental architecture to fill up its streets. From Latin America's largest cathedral to the largest bullring in the world, there's plenty to see and do here. At the same time, it's a little dirty, it's very crowded and at rush hour, the traffic can be infuriating. Throw in a reputation for crime and smog that hovers overhead and you may be ready to head to Acapulco before you know it! Having grown up in Hong Kong as a kid, I love the excitement of big cities. Sure, after awhile the crowds and all the other hassles can get old, but on this 4 day trip, I couldn't get enough. I never had any problem with crime, nor did I ever feel threatened. Even the pollution seemed a little overhyped to me and it really didn't seem any worse than Los Angeles when I lived near there in the early 1990s.

Carry a rucksack. Everyone else does. Wear long trousers and closed in shoes. For some unknown (to me at least) reason, every time I wore sandals/flip flops, everyone (both male and female) openly stared at my toes! Whats up with that?!

The untold story...
by morgane1692
...of what REALLY happened to those Mayans and Aztecs so many centuries ago. When you visit the pyramids and other excavations, you end up with more questions than really solid answers. But take a look at this mock-up of the ancient Mexico City when it was surrounded by a giant lake, will you? Turns out it was invaded by giiiiant pigeons. Did your teachers and guidebooks ever mention this? I doubt it.
