Everyone who has been, tells me Mexico City is the shit! :)So i had no choice (oh what a shame;) and went this week as I had a few days of from work. As I am the worst planner in the world, I bought my ticket 20 min before it went and booked the hostel on the bus there. But you know, it always works out ;) I made plans for dinner with a friend of a friend that lives there and I was on my way! :)
I must say I just love traveling alone, because well... obviously I am the best companion ;) But its soo nice deciding exactly what to do, when to do it and how to do it.
Now, mexico city is gigantic! And its not an easy city to get around in 3 days... but i think i covered the most important places, I made time to chill out at cafes and I got a taste of the famous nightlife.
I stayed at a hostel in Roma, a pretty sweet neighborhood with everything u need right outside the door. Roma is next to Condesa which is a hipster area known for its nightlife, its safe too walk around alone at all hours and u can get food and drinks from all corners of the world :) I must say though, I reeealy HATE staying in dorms! but I guess thats what u get when u book the same day. :P Not only does it suck coming home at night not being able to put the light on, stumbling over backpacks, not sure ur choosing the right bed, people snore, I snore.. Its all a big mess!! But in addition, the 40 year old german in the bed next to mine, sleeps NAKED!! WTF?? so no thank u to dorms!!
Otherwise... Use ur contacts, take the metro, bring a map, take the tourist bus, visit the pyramids, get lost, eat a lot, and remember to stop, breathe and enjoy.... ;)
PICTURE TIMEEE!! :D
 |
| Look at this little monkey flirting the whole way to Mexico City from Xalapa :D soooo cute! i almost kidnapped him... true story.. |
 |
| As i stated before, taking a tourist bus is the best way to get an idea about the city. bring a coffee, sit down and enjoy the view :) |
 |
| Ya.. there is sooome military in the streets... |
 |
| The gigantic beautiful cathedral at the Zócalo |
 |
| El Ángel de la independencía |
 |
| Basically all mexicans are musicians, that results in entertainment... everywhere :) |
 |
| Contacts are alpha and omega when traveling alone! Meet Guillermo, a friend of my american girlfriend Anna that i was in Buenos Ares with. Thank you Anna :) Someone always knows someone where ur going, so just ask :) We had a great time together and it was so good going out with someone that knows the city and can tell u the inside scoop ;) |
 |
| Live music everywhere! add wine, tapas and good company and u have urself a good time :) |
 |
| And these silly girls of course ;) |
 |
| The next day i was feeling pretty sorry for my self... buuuut being hungover in Mexico City is surely not the worst thing in the world, and it was all worth it! :D |
 |
| Happy again after some coffee and ready for the pyramids! :) |
 |
| Come on! you would have written ur name too!! |
 |
| HOT HOT HOT! a little pit stop between the pyramids :) |
 |
| My butt is still sore after this... |
 |
| On top of the world |
 |
| Pyramid de La Luna - Come on!! its ridiculously amazing! Majestic, impressive, massive and... everything! everyone must go here!! |
 |
| Yeeeah!! |
 |
| And bring money! They sell so much cool artifacts! as i am the queen of bargaining, here is my tip: put a little money in different pockets and say thats all u have... then they have to go down to ur price! i bargained a heavy, awesome aztec dagger down from 1200 --> 200 pesos. The guy almost stabbed me with it :D thats when u know its a good deal ;) |
 |
| A little pyramid silliness must be allowed ;) |
 |
| So frikken amazing! |
 |
| The last night we went to a singles night at a 60s club with this silly bunch! Haha! can u imagine?? Such a weird place.. |
 |
| Model sandwich :) |
 |
| Gotta try the hipster glasses |
 |
| The metro! My saviour! seriously.. this city is huuuuuuuge! but the metro system is soooo easy! BEST way to get around |
 |
| I always fall asleep when im on the metro, bus, car, plane, bike..you name it :P nice to see im not alone ;) |

Yo soy 132 at monumento a la revolución -
There is an ongoing movement in Mexico called Yo soy 132 (I am 132) centered around the democratization of the country and the medias bias cover of it. shortly explained, It started with the 2012 presidential election with students at a private university in Mexico City, now president-elected Pena Nieto was holding a speech there and the students protested. But the media covering it claimed it was not the students from that university that was against Nieto, it was other people from a lower class. So the students then went out and made a movie where 131 students from that Uni held up their student ID and stated that they had been there and demonstrated. So to say yo soy 132 is in solidarity to the movement (Like, I'm the next member) |
 |

 |
| I love this country!! they have fountains like this everywhere. and people go crazy running through it, dancing, screaming.... |
 |
