Why I Moved to Mexico City

The tacos. That's it. That is the entire reason I moved my entire life here.
Okay fine, there are more reasons, but none as important as that. Really, it's all I eat. Someone should google how many tacos al pastor you can eat before dying. Oh god.
1). The Food
I'm sorry. You probably expected me to lead with something different, but now I'm on a roll.
I have never been so in love with eating until I moved here. Before moving to Mexico I basically lived off of protein bars and trendy diet foods. Just thinking about it makes me question my previous lifestyle and everything that influenced it. Really, what's up with Americans and bad food? It's like y'all want to die. I don't blame you. Have a taco. It makes everything better.
2) The People
Are we loud? Yes. Do we refuse to follow basic rules, such as traffic signals? Also yes. But we do it with love ❤️ Except in traffic. Y'all suck.
3) Crime
Knowing that you could be robbed at any moment is somewhat exhilarating. It's that little razzle dazzle that keeps you on your toes and occasionally makes you think "at least I still have my phone and all ten fingers!!" Small wins.
4). The Climate
So we might be one of the most polluted cities in the world, but we look cute doing it. Aside from those few days of the year when it looks like an apocalyptic nightmare, most days you just stare at the mountains and wonder how lucky you are to be in their presence. Balance baby.
5). Because I'm Actually Insane
But you already knew that. And you love me for it.
Woah, are we going to kiss?
You crazy fucker.
