Mexico City

[ARrocket]

My mom has some physics convention in Mexico City, and I'm tagging along. I've read up on some tourists sites, but any of you guys have suggestions on places to go/memorable activities to do? I'll have some time alone, but a lot of the time I'll be going around with my 56 year old mother, so keep that in mind! :nono:

Have some authentic tacos. The one's that are cheap but filled with actual steak meat not canned crap. I've visited Mexico a couple times not Mexico City though. Loved the tacos and loved going for Chinese food. Best Chinese I've had has been in Mexico. Visited marketplaces and wasn't very impressed you can find some neat stuff, but my haggling skills must not have been to impressive. I remember trying to get a post card, but they wanted almost $2 and I could only get him down to $1.... way to high for a piece of paper.

Haven't been since I was very young though so I couldn't speak for the nightlife etc. Stay alert though and watch out for your safety

Yeah I'm looking forward to trying the food...my city has a pretty big Latino population so I've tried a lot of authentic Mexican food, but it should be interesting. Anybody got anything else? I do speak Spanish, btw.

memorable activities

Getting robbed, or even kidnapped will be a great experience! :woo:

That aside, I don't know what tourist thing you could do in chilangolandia. People who go there go to do things you can do any day in the u.s., like shopping, six flags, maybe go see the national soccer team. But as far as really tourist things, aside from food, maybe museums, but I honestly wouldn't know about that except from Frida Khalo's house.

That is a dangerous city! Watch yourself.

The internet is your friend..

If you like history, they've plenty of ruins there to check out.

If you like tacos, you can't go wrong.

But watch your wallet, and get one of those hidden belt pockets so you can't be pick-pocketed.
