As soon as I arrived in Mexico City, I was in shock. The place is flithy, smelly and people are well creepy. This place is so poor with poverty and crime. It is so disturbing to see children as young as two trying to earn a living by selling things or washing cars. I know this is the norm in poor countries such as Pakistan but seeing it for real was a major shock to me and has upset me. You get loads of men and women on the street begging for money (much more than you see in London). The men try to become your tour guide hoping you will give them some money. It does become a real pain after a while. On the positive side, the hotel I am staying is beautiful and the staff are friendly. This city does have lots of culture and history but as I am not interested in that side of things, this city does not offer any diversity. It is a pity that this city couldn't offer me any more.

I was recently in a rafting trip, just one hour and a half from Mexico city, and I can say it was one of the best whitewater rafting trips I've taken, great service, great equipment, great guides, cute too, and of course the Lower Amacuzac river in Morelos is just the best, because of the rapids and the scenery. The best kept secret of Mexico.
