Transcript excerpt

Five things that surprised me about Mexico City. The greenery. The city is so lush like a giant shade garden. There's fountains, parks, and monuments everywhere. Castles with walls of stained glass, murals, and museums. A world class food scene with many, many gorgeous restaurants, and lots of quick better along the way. Incredible architecture, especially Spanish and art deco, they just don't build them like they used to. And bird's eye views, the seventh largest city in the world. But if you like to stroll and gradually take in the layers of a neighborhood, this place would be hard to beat.
