After a 3-hour flight from Miami, here we come to smoggy Mexico City, one of the most polluted and dangerous cities in the world. ...

One of the very basic rules for tourists in Mexico City is not to take a taxi off the street, unless you would like to be taken on an ATM tour around the city to max out your credit cards for your kidnapper. ... We luckily didn’t get into any trouble, and enjoyed Mexico City thoroughly. ...

Jan 31, 2009 - POLICIA

Friday morning decided to get out of town, with 25 million people there is NO quiet traffic time, so left about 9AM and headed out on Insurgentes (which just goes for miles and miles, 'till it connects with the Autopista).

Apparently I had missed what I might have considered the best performer/ street artist in the Mexico City Subway System. ... I guess in summary that what I thought was a complete subway journey, turns out to be incomplete and I am now considering returning to Mexico City on my way back to the States in order to ride the subway and see the “Glass Shirt Man” show and see if this time anyone starts the much anticipated dog pile. ...
