Not used to my former hometown. It is just too big and with more than 20 million people living in the Greater Mexico City Metropolitan Area a bit crowded. However, it is always great to see old friends and get together for dinner. Mexico City does have excellent restaurants. Two days ago I had dinner at Brasileiríssimo Polanco, an authentic Brazilian restaurant where the concept is "all you can eat." Las night a couple of friends took me to a fantastic Argentinian Steak & Fish house called Puerto Madero (after the place of the same name in Argentina). Fabulous steaks and great ambiance.

Looking at the view from my hotel (41st floor of the Presidente InterContinental Hotel) it is not hard to see why millions of Mexico City residents may want to visit Canada given its reputation for clean air and pristine natural settings and safe and orderly cities. While Mexico City is a fascinating place to visit, people here yearn many a time to get away to places where they can feel freer and more relaxed, away from chaotic traffic and hazy, smoggy days. Unfortunately, there is another issue attracting Mexicans to a country like Canada. Safety. There are plans for a huge demonstration/walk next weekend to protest against the lack of safety in the country. All levels of government have signed a security accord and have promised results in 100 days. Mexicans are watching.

Tomorrow I will be back in Toronto, not a perfect city by any means, but still one of the best in the world to live in and to visit.
