Bienvenido a México.

Finally arrived in México. After some issues with my visa, a 24 hours trip and a broken notebook cable I spent the first day in Mexico-City. It is an absolutely awesome and inconceivable big city. Too big to explore it on one day. The following pictures were taken in the historical center of México-City.

Today I am going to travel to Córdoba, Veracruz, the place of my internship at Casa Hogar de Córdoba. Really looking forward to meet some great people over there! I will try to upload the video I have edited which introduces myself to the children in the orphanage. 

Enjoy my first impressions of México! 

Morning view out of my hotel room.

 Met plenty of these little buddies all over the city.

 I just came out of the metro and was stunned by this great building, Palacio de Bellas Artes.

 Asked him to join a match, but he did not reply.

 Worshipping of holy images seems to be big in México. You can find altars like this all over the city.

 Looks crooked to me.

 Seen plenty of these old Volkswagen in the streets. Unfortunately I did not need a taxi.

 The city seemed to me like a huge market place. You can find whole boroughs filled with the same things. Cloths, toys, electronics and even toilets.

 Quesadillas were my first breakfast in México.

 Gargoyles in form of guns? Never seen that before. Once again the colonial architecture impressed me.

 The Cathedral of México-City with probably the biggest flag I have ever seen, in front of it.

 Watched the game Real Madrid against ZSKA Moscow in a restaurant. And even in México you can see some Mesut Özil fans.

 Huarachas, Quesadillas and one nice Corona. I think I will gain a lot of weight in the following two months.

 Modern street art combined with colonial architecture. A great combination!
