Luis.. what's good about Mexico?

[a13antichrist]

And whereabouts in it are you?

 

[Luis G]

Main turist attractions are:
- Cities' downtowns, most of them built at the colonial period, really beautiful buildings, cathedrals and plazas.
- Pyramids: mainly from Aztecs, Mayans, Olmecas and Toltecas.
- Beaches: do I have to say more?

Currently I live in Morelia, it is located about 300km west of Mexico City.

This threads might give you a better idea of Morelia

[a13antichrist]

Thanks, that's cool.. but What I meant was more along the lines of, "what makes you proud to be a Mexican"? Like, what sort of thing would a Mexican talk about if s/he wanted to impress you how great his/her country was?

And freako, ... ...

I'm not so proud of being a mexican lately.

But some of the things that makes most of us proud are what I mentioned along with some beautiful natural places (national parks/reserves are just awesome), and some other ridiculous things to be proud of like the invention of the colour TV, the monarch butterfly coming all the way to Mexico and whales breeding in our seas.
