    The varied elements of this region stem partly from its history as one of the richest silver mining areas in the Spanish empire, ehere the wast wealth of the Europeans who profited from the silver stood in contrast to the men who worked the mines and the native Indian tribes who scrathed out a living here.

    Near the Cathedral, at Monte de Piedad, you can see a row of men. Well these men all represent different professions like electrician, painter, plumber, bricklayer . . .
    So in fact it looks like a public Interim office. If you need a certain job to be done at your home, over here you can rent a handyman. I believe this is really practical.

    I really loved to walk around in Mexico City, and taste the smalls of the local life.

    Of course when you walk in a big city, you also see the not so beautiful things of our modern society, like poverty and homeless. As we passed this little park, El Jardin de la Solidaridad, we saw people camping in plastic self-made tents, our guide told us that it was kind of a demonstration of some homeless.

    People, as photography is one of my hobbies, I just love to make pictures of people. One thing, if you want to make pictures of people in Mexico, first ask this people if it is allowed to make a picture. Because it is kind of rude to start photographing as a paparazzi. Do not forget, you are not on a safari, be gentle and ask permission. (And in fact, this is not only for Mexico)

    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!

    Between the Constitution Square and the Temple Mayor, you find the Plaza de Mayor. This is a very lively place with lot of entertainment and merchants. Amusing all day and evening is for sure. I put special a travelogue for “Plaza Mayor” as I am planning to see more entertainment over there.

    Walk and get in contact with the people.

    I have lived here almost all my life, I grew up here and the city taught me how to move around, find it useful to grow in a city so big as almost no city in the world seems dangerous or complicated.

    • Try ordering a tamarind margarita (margarita tamarindo in Spanish) when you are here. They are really delicious. Not too sweet and not too sour, way better than lime and something you definitely can't get back home.

    Have some premium tequila too. In Mexico it is often served with tomato juice on the side. You sip the tequila and the juice. Don Julio is my favorite brand. You'll never want to drink the cheap stuff again.

    Mexico City is one of the biggest cities in the world, is hard to name just one place to visit if it´s your first time in here, all i can say is you´ll find everything you want, we have museums,arqueological sites,culture,the best nightclubs, and lot´s of TEQUILA!!!!

    I think that what i miss the most is the people, Mexican People is like so cool, we´re friendly and we are open to anyone that visits us. I would also miss a sunny and beautiful day watching the mountains around the city.

    • Being there at Christmas time was magical - the largest xmas tree I have ever seen in my life, and bigger than life size decoration donkeys and other christmassy characters - all quite mad really! And every building boardering the main square had the largest, illuminated decorations adorning them too.
