I WAS THERE

We moved to Mexico City in August of 2001, if i remember well it was the 21 of that month. Well, we arrived there for the next six years of our lives, many thing would came later. One of the most things i hate of mexico was the traffic. REALLY DOES SUCKS!. Places that look close on a map And up taking three times longer than you would expect to traverse. There’s an easy solution that the upper crust ignores though: Metro + feet. It’s faster, cheaper, and easier to go underground and then walk. And oh man is it cheap to ride the subway here. More on that later. As for the crime, I felt pretty darn safe there. The streets are packed with people, even in El Centro where the rich hoity-toity people in town will tell you that it isn’t safe to wander after dark. The locals who actually work around there tell you they are only worried when there’s a demonstration going on. You can have some of the best street food in town there too, which is key. The smog is real, but I’ve seen far worse. I wouldn’t want to spend a lifetime breathing in that air, but if you go for a few years you’ll be fine unless you’re asthmatic of course. Mexico City have many bad things but it is a place that you would never forget. Of course outside Mexico city you have amazing places like Cancun, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta but that is another history. Mexico city is better than you think Mexico
