Shopping
I did have some time to do some shopping. There are many shopping malls around the city and prices were incredibly low.
Instead of bying only one dress, I made the owner of one shop very happy by bying four or was six dresses. All staff members were bowing (this is true) when I left the store.
And how good did I feel myself knowing how little money I spent but how much I gave to that store, maybe they even closed it for the rest of the day and left home :-)!
Those dresses were totally not planned but couldn't resist!
Of course a bottle of genuine tequila but no sombrero!

As well as Agua, Juices and icecreams, you can find also Paletas de Agua (water) or Crema (cream) made of fruits and other different flavors.
Lemon, Rompope, Frambuesa are some of the famous flavors
Bullfight
by acemj
Like in most countries of the world, soccer is king in Mexico City and the Azteca is one of the largest stadiums in the world if you're interested in seeing a game.
However, if you want to see a sport that is a bit more of a cultural experience, I'd suggest seeing a bullfight. WARNING: this sport is controversial and isn't for everyone!
Plaza Mexicana, the largest bullring in the world, is a short walk from the San Antonio Metro station on the western end of town. Las Corridas de Toros (the bullfights) take place on Sundays at 4pm (but don't worry if you arrive a little late, there are many fights) between October and early April. I paid 360 pesos for a great seat in the Primera Tendida, which is very low in the stadium and close to the action. You can pay a lot less if you want to sit higher and if you don't mind being in the sun. At the ticket window, you can indicate that you prefer the "sombre" (shade) and can let them know that you're okay with sitting in the "sol" (sun).
For details about what happens at the bullfight, see my travelogues on this page.
If you are staying slightly...

If you are staying slightly longer in Mexico City, don't miss a visit of the UNAM campus located in the South of the city. A car is recommended as the university grounds are endless. For architecture fans, a visit of the area around the central library is a must. There is also a nearby art gallery/museum with free entry.
