Mario
A student at the University of Guanajuato - originally from Mexico City - back during one of his regular visits.  We spoke in the Mexico City Zocalo.

CX: So many people are intimidated by Mexico City. What is it about the city that attracts you?
Mario: My vacations are like this. I just walk downtown and try to talk to people and wait for something to happen - and it always happens something! This city never disappoints you! You see the demonstrations, you see the people. You can always walk slow and hear what the people are saying. Here in Mexico City everybody talks about politics.
