Mexico City

After my siblings left, James came to mexico city. We were originally going to go to the hostel, but my parents still had the airbnb for a few nights. So instead, we reduced our stay at the hostel and stayed at the airbnb. It was quite nice - during the day we went out and worked. We went to various sites around Polanco and Condesa. We went together to Coyoacan and saw the Frida Kahlo house. At night, we would meet my parents for dinner and then go back to the airbnb to play mahjong.

Some other things we did was visit the Nacional Museo de Antropologia (my second time, it's a massive museum with so much stuff).

After my parents left, James and I went to a hostel in Centro called Casa de Pepe. We each had capsule like beds which was nice for privacy. Unfortunately, James proceeded to get sick for an entire week. He spent a lot of the week recovering and took some time off. As soon as he got better, I got sick for a week. Being sick in a hostel actually sucks so much... just not having privacy and feeling like shit is not fun.

On the bright side though, centro has so much amazing cheap food. You can consistently get really good tacos for 10-15 pesos per taco. Awesome. We spent time exploring centro, recovering, and eating good food.

We spent our time in Mexico City working. Uber/didi is super cheap so we would venture out (mostly to Polanco and Condesa), go to a cafe, and hangout there most of the day. It was really nice and the weather was consistently great.Read more
