mexico city
3 days in mexico city. still suffering from jet lag and birthday party. before I arrive here, I knew 2 mexican. from what I know which is very little of this land far far away. same same different. it remind me of shanghai in 90s. new generation of young people who is well educated. luxury and metropolitan area full of protuct from around the world. People are open but still have their old value. city with population more than shanghai. 26 million all live here. 3 side of the city is surrounded by vocanic montain and city is builded on dry lake.
Being in mexico is very confusing. from the lost accent people to people in search of identity. so much they want to white europeans. whiter skin is temp to be higher class. there is a under layer of rasism. who are the mexicans? they are deccentant of great mostly dead civilization. they builded great monuments when most europe still hunter and gethers. They are group of hard works. They carry the warmness of indians. They are not europeans and should never think themsleves any less than other races. In search of art and curtual mexicans is like a lost child. the truth is if they look within, they are child of central America. Deccentant of great and wonderful.
A lost child. lost in city of american style capticlism. Just like many other city, kfc, Starbucks, cloths from china. The modern civilization of mexico shouldnt be just be another city of weastern world. bye bye mexico. Your people are amount the one of those sweetest and kindest in the world. just wish you all wear big hat like old days.
