I originally decided to start this blog mainly to document my latest attempt to quit smoking. This was clearly headed for disaster. As such, I've decided to keep the blog idea and just document my life living as an expat in Mexico City, along with whatever other random ideas and thoughts fill my ever so ADHD addled head. Mostly, I think this blog is headed the way of a pseudo-tourist-guide to Mexico City (at least until I get a better idea).
Let's start with the basics: I'm a 27 year old American living in the Western Hemisphere's largest city (sorry New York) and I've lived here on and off for 10 years or so. I'm not kidding about the "largest city" part, Mexico City is friggin' huge. If you are contemplating a visit or getting transferred down here and you're not from L.A., New York or Chicago (or really any other densly populated city with mind-blowing traffic) get ready for a surprise. With a population of "Who-the-hell-knows-since-the-census-down-here-sucks" (although the best estimate puts the number at 21.2 million people) and more cars than people in my home city of San Diego, California, this city can be intimidating as hell.
I'll try to update this blog as often as I can, but since I am probably one of the most disorganized people living in the world today, I make no promises. That is, assuming anyone actually ever reads this...
