I dont see the problem, it is supposed to be one of the biggest cities in the world, with 20 million people, and also one of the most polluted, but Mexico City seems fine too me. Less crowded and polluted than Seoul of large cities in Japan. I was told to try and avoid it at all costs, but I could live here quite comfortably I think.

I find shop signs are interesting here. For example, chain stores such as McDonalds or 7 Eleven, rather than having their signs in the standard colours that we see everywhere around the world, they use quite simple and elegent lettering in silver or gold, that matches the decor of the old buildings they are in. First time Ive ever seen a McDonalds and thought it could be a bank ;) The Burger King was even better.

For a city of its size, there are very few skyscrapers, and the few that exist, are not huge. Most of the buildings here are traditional spanish architecture of a few hundred years ago, in varying states of decay, but gives quite a nice look to the central city.

As I mentioned in the previous post, due to the border crossing. I think I should return to the U.S. before my 90 days there runs out. That gives me a maximum of just under 3 months here if I want.
