Syscom3:
Aha! so you lived in the Zona Rosa.
In fact a very nice place to eat. I was told Zona Rosa used to be the fanciest coffee and bar area of the city in the late 60s and early 70s -very Paris like-.
It appears the area decayed during the 80s and early 90s as groups of prostitutes, drug dealers, sex shops and topless dancers clubs took over.
Also I was told a new effort to rescue the area was implemented and the place recovered at least part of its original charm.
I currently live in the Anzures area -neighboring Polanco-, a few blocks away from the famous President Mazaryk avenue. Quite an interesting phenomea one can see in this area: fleets of the latest BMWs, Mercedez Benz, Jaguars, Porsches, Maseratis, Ferraris, etc, etc; very wealthy people visiting bistros, sushi bars and pubs as well as all kinds of international fashion firms and art galleries. Make a 20 minute drive out of the sector and be surrounded by filthy slums where people are nearly illiterate.
It is a brutal contrast. As many mexicans use to say "only in Mexico".
I concur: Mexico City is full of extremely totally hot women. Very outgoing, very open minded.
It is somewhat similar to the diversity you can find in any major city of the world: you see women from every ethnicity possible. I see asians, blacks, whites, latins...
