activities
Visit the pyramid of the sun
was told to go before the crowds and the heat, so this means I will be going in the morning. Yet it is still fairly warm and will still be a tough climb. I will get a tour guide to help me up the pyramid. I will make sure to bring sunscreen so I don't get burned. I will prepare for lots of climbing.
Visit Six Flags Mexico
At six Flags Mexico I am going to get VIP passes so I don't wait in line all day. This will help me get on more rides and not stand around and get bored. I will buy my tickets online so I don't have to pay as much. I will pay $20 instead of $40.
Tour of Estadio Azteca
Estadio Azteca is a soccer stadium, I will take a tour of the stadium. The cost will be 80 pesos. The tour is about 45 minuets long. I am visiting then second largest futbol stadium in the world. I hope Its worth the money.
Problems to anticipate and solutions suggested
One of the problems of traveling to mexico is I can't speak their language so I will get a translator so I can understand what their saying. This will help me with directions, when people are trying to help me or if I run into trouble. Even though United States travelers are not attacked that often, I should still be careful when I'm traveling on the street and after dark. In large crowds, pick pocketing is common, So I will only bring the money I need with me, and I will keep that money in a safe place.

Conclusion/Reflection
Out of all the other countries I could have settled on to go learn about a new culture, I elected Mexico because I was more interested in their culture than any other country. I will be flying away April 16th and returning April 30th. This will be a non-stop flight to Mexico city. While I'm there, I will stop over at The Pyramid of The Sun, 6 Flags Mexico, and a tour of Estadio Azteca. I am the most excited about The Pyramid of The Sun because I've never detected a pyramid with my own eyes so I thought that would be cool.
