Finally I decided to go to Mexico.
Actually I wanted to see how the Mexican babes look like.
First impression was not bad.
I landed in the Mexico City International Airport Benito Juarez. I booked a room in the Holiday Inn Hotel.
Mexico or United States of Mexico is located in North America. The capital is Mexico City; it is one of the largest cities in the world. It is in a lake bottom surrounded by mountains, a very odd place for a capital-my opinion, seems not for the Mexican. And of course subject to earthquakes.
Tenochtitlan was the original name of the city of Mexico. In AD 1325 the Mexica immigrated and made it their home in the middle of Lake Texocco. The legend says that the Mexica were one of seven Chichimeca tribes who came in Tenochtitlan from their original city, Aztlan which means Land of the Herron. At the time the Spanish occupied Tenochtitlan in 1519, it had about 200,000 inhabitants on five square miles.
Independence was declared in September 1810 and recognized in September 1821 from Spain.
The official language is Spanish.
The main cities with the largest number of population are: Mexico City with 22 milliom, Guadalajara with 4.7 million, Monterrey with 3.6 million, Puebla with 2.6 million, Tihuana with 1.5 million, Leon with 1.2 million, Toluca with 1.2 million, Ciudad with 1.1 million, Torreon with million, SanLuis Potosi with 0.8 million, Mérida with 0.8 million, Santiago with 0.8 million, Aguascalientes with 0.7 million, Cuernavaca with 0.7 million and Chihuahua with 0.7 million.
Mexico has a rough triangle shape with more than 3000 km from Northwest to Southeast. And the width varies from more than 2000 km in north and around 200 km in south. The center of Mexico is a high plateau open on north with mountain chains on west and east.
Mexico is the 12th nation according to the World Bank.
Most of the population is Spanish speaking.
About 89% of the population of Mexico is Roman Catholic, 6% Protestant and the rest 5% are from other religion.
So this was a little of the history of Mexico.
