In the summer of 2005, I was lucky to travel to Mexico City where I lived for 23 days. During my stay there, I learned so much about the new modern Mexico (good and bad).  I saw amazing museums.  As a fan of art and history, I liked seeing the ancient, Spanish, and French colonial art and architecture and lots and lots of people!  When you are an “expatriot” you enjoy a certain status. I must admit, I like the fun of waking up in a different country and experiencing new things.
