Mexico was literally an experience from the other side of the earth, nothing about this place could have been more different than life here in Australia. The streets of Mexico were amazing, at times horrendous, at times beautiful, but always interesting. You never know what you will find around the corner, from food carts, to carts full of soldiers.

The road and registration rules in Mexico were very “lo que quieras” that is to say “whatever you want”. If it works, go for it seems to be how things are run, this isn’t a bad thing, but it was a shock to the system.

Funny that my first real post isn’t even based in Canberra, but that’s how it goes sometimes. All of these photos were taken with my iPhone 4s, and link through to Flickr.
I agree it is a country of contrasts!
