POINT OF VIEW

I consider that visiting City of Mexico is something interesting because we can know the culture, history and traditions of the people of this city, in addition to enjoy the things that can be done, also enjoy the variety of food there, and so share with our family.

On the other hand we can find rude and unkind people.Possibly we could find traditions we do not like, or taste typical food of this city that we are not used to and some of the dishes may be unpleasant for us.
