Dear Hoorhay,
For the last week I have been on a bus tour through Mexico City. I am going to give you some mind blowing facts about Mexico City.
In Mexico City's history there is a place called La Plaza de la Tres Cultuas ( the plaza of 3 cultures). In the plaza there is a Spanish Colonial church and school. Also there is an Aztec ruins of an old market and a place where public ceremonies were held in the middle of the plaza. Then there are modern offices and apartments located all around the plaza. Also Mexico City used to be the Aztecs capitol Tenochtitlan until Cotez (a Spanish conquistador) conqured it and brought measles which completely killed off the Aztecs.
In Mexico City the culture is all very different. The most common spoken language is Spanish, but there is all sorts of Indian languages spoken too. They also think that the Virgin Mary is there sworn protector. They listen to all sorts of music and a wide verity of religions are being used.
Mexico City has poor neighborhoods, middle class neighborhoods, and very rich neighborhoods. One fourth of all the billionaires in the world are living here. In the poor neighborhoods the people work all day and still get paid minimum wage, they live on the outskirts of town in little cardboards houses in communities called shanty towns. In the middle class the people have all the items they need to live a good life. In the rich neighborhoods the people have all the things that you could ever imagine. In Mexico City it costs 1,000 dollars just to get a phone installed.
In Mexico City's environment it is very dreadful. Fresh water is extremely scarce, so it must be imported from other countries because all the lakes are salt water and polluted. 10,000,000 people use 16,000 gallons of water per minute. Eight million people have no running water. Forty-five % of all the cars in the world are in Mexico City. Vehicles and factories make and spread 51,000 tons of sulfur dioxide. Breathing the air in Mexico City is worse than smoking two packs of cigarettes a day because of all the terrible pollution that goes on from the lakes, rivers, and most of all factories and cars.
Mexico City is a massive city and the pollution will eat you up and make you sick. That is all you should need to know and more about Mexico city to travel there. If you ever have and problems with what tourists call Montezuma's revenge. It is when you are in Mexico and you get diarrhea. Also stay clear of the tap water it is very bad for you because it isn't imported .Later days Hoorhay.
Your Friend,
