After a grueling 25 hour flight I've finally arrived in Mexico. The plane ride was great... Etihad has these modern new planes with larger cabins, all kinds of different colored 'Mood' lights, and a nifty video on demand system where you can chose to watch what you want when you want.
Of course my built-in TV was the only one on the plane that didn’t work so I had the choice of staring at 14 hours of static or sleeping. I decided to do both and after about 2 minutes of static I was sound alseep. Then the 3 year old sitting next to me decided that this was a good time to start screaming, and went on for about 20 min until his grandmother decided to give him some coffee (?) which only made him scream louder. Hmm. Anyways, apart from that was a smooth flight.
Mexico City sort of reminds me of a mixture of places. Its not really distinctive by itself, but it has more of a standard developing look... a bit like Manila or Bangkok, except with hints of Hanoi too cuz of all the colonial buildings in the old town.
We did the touristy things such as the Zocalo, Anthropological museum, Wal-Mart. The most depressing Wal-Mart on earth... The fact that it was raining most of the time probably didn’t help much.
I've gotta say that the best thing about Mexico City is the food.. the amazing food...the mole and burritos and frijoles and guacamole and tortillas Mmm...
