== Mexico City == Totally unrelated cuteness: [http://www.ohdeedoh.com/ohdeedoh/look/look-panda-bread-091127 Panda Bread] Hotel: * http://www.choicehotelsmexico.com/hotels/hotelServices?hotel=MX046 Transportation: * From the airport: You could take a metro if you don't have many bags. Otherwise, take a yellow and white taxi outside the airport with an airplane sticker on. There should an authorized sign at the stand. You could ask about the price before you get on. * Taxi: I usually take Sitio taxis at the Sitio taxi stands. You can also call for radio taxis. I don't take libre alone and my friends told me that if I have to take it, take ones with meters, crosses hanging from the mirror, and an old driver. * [http://www.mexicocity-guide.com/maps/subway.htm Metro Subway]: Buy tickets at Taquilla for 2 pesos per trip. Easy to use and pretty safe. There're ladies only cars during the peak hours. If with a lady, a man can go into these cars, most of the time. Can get crowded during the peak hours. * Metrobus: 5 pesos (10 pesos for the card? Minimum 15 pesos for the initial credit). I take ones on Insurgentes to go to UNAM. * Walking: Pretty safe in Roma/Condesa. Avoid walking alone on Av. Insurgentes Sur at night. I try to be in a group whenever I'm walking at night. All my friends advised against going to Tepito without someone from the neighborhood. Possible things to do: * Teotihuacan * National Anthropology Museum / [http://www.downtheroad.org/Photo/7MexCityArea/Zoo.htm Mexico City Zoo] * [http://travel.nytimes.com/travel/guides/north-america/mexico/mexico-city/attraction-listings.html?&pg=1 NYTimes has a full list] * [http://travel.nytimes.com/travel/guides/north-america/mexico/mexico-city/24282/palacio-nacional-and-the-diego-rivera-murals/attraction-detail.html Palacio Nacional and the Diego Rivera Murals] * [http://travel.nytimes.com/travel/guides/north-america/mexico/mexico-city/31159/mercado-de-la-ciudadela/shopping-detail.html Mercado de La Ciudadela, crafts market] * [http://travel.nytimes.com/travel/guides/north-america/mexico/mexico-city/28024/mercado-de-la-merced/shopping-detail.html Mercado de la Merced, food market] * [http://events.nytimes.com/2007/04/01/travel/01foraging.html NaCo] * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desierto_de_los_Leones_National_Park Desierto de los Leones National Park] * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xochimilco Ride in a gondola] * Apparently there are free concerts at 7pm by the [http://www.nileguide.com/destination/mexico-city/things-to-do/orquesta-sinf-nica-del-conservatorio-nacional-de-m-sica/211148 Orquesta Sinfónica del Conservatorio Nacional de Música] * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyoacan Coyoacan] * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucha_libre Lucha libre] Fridays and Sundays Food: * [http://www.happycow.net/reviews.php?id=18055 Gold Taco] * other [http://www.happycow.net/north_america/mexico/mexico_city/ Vegetarian restaurants]: Aside from Gold Taco, I like the lunch buffer at Nirvana in Roma a lot.
