Mexico City Madness: Urban City Shots 1
Photo Caption: A Good Example of the Beautiful Streets of Mexico City
An interesting thing we noticed about Mexico City is that the people look different, much different than those here. They all had a different demeanor to them, even those who looked alternative had the same demeanor. What's more interesting is that things like crazy clothes and hair were so much a part of the local fashion that people sporting those things didn't seem out of place like they do in Acapulco.
Just like in Acapulco there was a lot of building going on all over the city, understandable as it's ranked second largest city in the world as far as population is concerned. I don't think I got any good shots to show an example but they made great use of space there utilizing underpasses on free way ramps through the city as spots for things like coffee shops and even a Little Cesars Pizza.
Now I know I've never been to a Hooters but I'm pretty sure I've never seen one in person before driving past this gem in Mexico City.
All sorts of American chains of pizza to be found in the city.
That grate was intense to stand on, as it was a long drop to a big channel likely part of the subway system in the city.
This was likely a pizza joint that'd just opened, but we weren't sure.
Mexico City is bitcoin friendly in that it has a few Bitcoin atms around, this place holding one of them.
As you can tell the shiny screen wasn't easy to use in the bright city but eventually John got it so he could scan. We then waited an hour and a half for it to confirm which sucked, but ended up with the pesos we needed to make it home.

Hi there, if you're new to my blog here on Steemit check out this for more information on who we are and how we got here.
When you say they had a different demeanor ... what do you mean ? How so?
Less friendly to strangers and less open. Less helpful when we'd ask questions, things like that.
sometimes the nature of the place makes you like that ... I know in ny ... we are always in a rush .... and I’m the city sometimes if people are running late ... they will brush you off ... not because they are being rude ...just don’t have time .
Yeah I didn't even classify the people of the city "rude" for that reason. They just weren't as friendly, which is a different thing entirely.
True .... well ... I have heard that in general Mexicans are very friendly and happy people .... I know a few here in NY ... that left bc it was either you work in the mines for little to no pay ... or you leave .... so they decided to come to NY .... they are very nice people , but very quiet and to themselves for the most part ... and definitely hard working people as well.
It's definately way friendlier than what say...california was for me. Mexican's in general are a friendly people, but Acapulco seem to be even more so
It’s also a place used to foreigners and big on hospitality.... it was/is their main source of revenue .... so they have been accustomed to being hospitable and welcoming .... and it’s something they tend to carry over to their children for the most part ... or at least that could be part of it .
