Make the trip out to Teotihuacan to see the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon and the Avenue of the Dead. You can walk up the pyramids.

Catch a lucha libre match at the Arena Mexico.

MUCHO (Museo del Chocolate) is worth a visit (chocolate lined walls!) and some snacking at the end.

Pick up some Dorilocos or Tostilocos from a street vendor (walking tacos in a chip bag).

Try a toasted cricket (chapulines) from a street vendor or at a restaurant get a mezcal drink with a cricket rim (crushed like salt).

How much time did you need at Teotihuacan? Guided tour or wander on your own? Is it worth combining a balloon flight with touring on the ground?

Quintonil is amazing. We do the kitchen counter seating. I HATED Pujol.

Is it? After I went I looked it up because of how disappointed I was, and it seemed a popular opinion. Too close, too dark, service too stuffy for the food. A couple of courses I loved, rest were okay and the mole was honestly foul (very willing to accept it’s beyond my palate). They also set someone on fire. It didn’t help that we went to quintonil two days after and that absolutely knocked my socks off.

Contramar is amazing!

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?
