Right so more culture was needed and we had only heard good things about the museum of Anthropology so that was next on the list. We decided that we would take the metro as it is called in this part of the world. I do not like the tube in London not sure why I just don’t dig it that much. The tube in Mexico city is super cheap we had to go about 7 stops on one line and 3 on another and it only cost us 6 pesos which is 15p each!!! So cheap!! The tube is crowded but I think that is like any city, it runs on time and it was clean. It did make me think I should right a letter to Boris Johnson informing him how shit the tube in London is and perhaps he should take a trip to Mexico to check theirs out. The most interesting thing about the tube in Mexico is the variety of sales people that you find on the trains. This also includes singers and beggars. We discovered that you can buy torches, razors, CD’s with the picture of naked women on the front, the guy selling the CD’s had a speaker strapped to his chest and was belting out the tunes he was selling. You could also buy sponges, chewing gum, sweets all sorts really, even donate to the blind dwarf guy who was singing some crazy song. There was also 2 little kids who must have been brothers, one about 8 and the other about 3 or 4 and they would hand out bits of paper as they didn't speak Spanish and it obviously asked for cash as they would then return collecting the bits of paper from people and small change. It was really sad to see. That was the tube experience, crazy but good.
