Mexico | Paris

Mexico - Skyline

this is a small fraction of the city. you can see towers and hotels of the northern part of the city [polanco, reforma]

Mexico - cinema

i don't know any movie theatre like that in the city, but this chain -cinemex- is one of the biggest in the country. [not a very fancy marquee]

Mexico - World Trade Center

This is the World Trade Center building in Mexico City.  Is there a WTC building in Paris? Or something equivalent?

Mexico - Panteón Civil

we do have a 'roundhose of the illustrious men' with many important characters, but this a civil cemetery in Iztapalapa [east of the city], that looks pretty much like any other cemetery in Mexico, with many crosses apparently in no order, and many little chapels that look like little houses for richer families, and a bunch of flowers and probably empty if it's not november 2nd. [death day].

Mexico - Guimard

This is another example of a Paris-Mexico exchange. One of Bellas Artes metro station's entrance is a copy of a Guimard station's entrance in Paris. I'm not sure, but I think in Paris you have a copy of the entrance to a mexican metro station.

Mexico - Carrusel

This one is at "La Feria", one of the two largest amusement parks in this city, but it's easy to find carrousels -albeit smaller ones- all over Mexico.

Mexico - Taxis

Mexico city is full of this green VW taxis. They are green because they're supposed to be ecological (new ones are white and red) and the letter L on the license plate stands for libre [free], which means you can catch them anywhere on the street, rather than at a taxi stand (those have an S).

Mexico - bolero

Although they're more easily found in or near parks, shoe shiners can still be found in the most important avenues of this city...

Mexico - pink graffiti

graffitis are the same everywhere, i guess. the color of the wall is known as mexican pink and it's used a lot [just see the market]

Mexico - Tianguis

this is an open air market. you can buy almost anything there, but mostly fruits and vegetables. we call it tianguis [with no translation] or mercado sobre ruedas [market on wheels] because they move every day and you know which day of the week they are around your neighborhood.
