Yeah, I finally got out of the Monster-City! 😀 I spent the last day walking around the Park of Chapultpec, reading a book and watching people. It’s really a sight! Lots of families, young lovers, sport-fanatics, a bit of everything really… You can go from the really crowded areas to the quiet, almost-alone ones, and […]
Yes, yesterday i forgot to post 😛 I’m just about ready to move, only need to pack up my stuff, check out, leave the backpack here (for now), spend the day around, come back and catch the bus at midnight. Yesterday night was a blast, I’m really going to miss the nightlife of this city! […]
First things first: What did I do/visit/see today? NOTHING! (and I can say it with a BIG smile) 😀 Ok, but I managed my first couchsurfing contact in Veracruz, so I went to the bus station and got a ticket for Sunday night. The trip is going to take 7 hours (instead of the usual […]
Today I went back to the usual tourist stuff 😉 I visited the Templo Mayor (and the museum), which was the center of the world for the Mexica culture (which overlaps a lot with the Aztecs). Funny thing is, because the temple was in a specific place, and they couldn’t make a bigger/better one in […]
Small update: after yesterday, I decided to post in the afternoon/evening, at least I will have a fresh image of what I just did 😛 Today was Xochimilco day, first vising the Doloros Olmedo Museum, and then a quick trip to Xochimilco itself. The Museum was fantastic, and it’s probably the biggest collection of the […]
Ok, this update comes a bit late, this morning I forgot to post 😉 Yesterday was kind of a slow day, I went to the sactuary of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe and took some pictures for my mum 😛 (no, I haven’t found the light, I’m still an atheist!) Today I managed to visit the Trotsky […]
Yesterday was arts&food Sunday 😉 I visited the Palacio of Bellas Artes, which hosted an exposition on Brian Nissen (never heard of him, but I liked it!), and some of the best murales ever made. One in particular, “El hombre controlador del universo” from Diego Rivera, is a masterpiece which takes a good 20 minutes […]
Yesterday was the non-turistic day 😉 Yep, I didn’t do anything related to history, culture or art. On the other side, I spent quite a lot of time walking around looking for things. I _finally_ managed to get pen&paper, and my predictions were right: there was an entire AREA of the city just for paper […]
Quick update: The anthropology museum was a blast! It contains EVERYTHING about all the mesoamerican culture, both before and after the colonization. Zona Rosa is not bad at all 🙂 Lots of bars, clubs, nice people, doesn’t really look dangerous. Or maybe I was just lucky… 😛 What to do today: no clue. I’m still […]
Here we are again 😉 The first day wasn’t bad at all. I discovered some interesting things about this city (and Mexico in general): The shops are grouped together by type. It took me 2 hours to find one mobile phone’s shop, which was next to 20 others of the same kind 😛 The numbering […]
