DOPAMINE FOR MY BABY!!
My family stays out in Puebla, so I've only been to the DF when I'm at the airport. How is it out there though? What did you get into it there? I feel like turning up out there might be cool.
Crazy how you went, I looked into it and I didn't realize how big of a city and modern Mexico City is, my first question, if you are black or darker complexion how was your interaction in respect to getting services at restaurants and other businesses.
Is spanish required for everything or do they cater to english language?
Did you feel safe? How many murders were done during your time there?
Music? Do they listen to hip hop or any reggaetone variations?
Just off the top of my head but share your experience and if you got pics, share some

It was fun, breh. My wife, my mother-in-law, my son and myself went. My wife is from Mexico, but not from DF. We went to a few bars. Had a drink with tarantula venom in it one night. It made my tongue numb. We mostly explored and did sight seeing. Went to the Aztec pyramids. Rode the subway/metro. There are 16 boroughs, but we stayed out of the bad ones. There are people trying to hustle you everywhere. Especially if they know you're a tourist. There are literally thousands of places to turn up, though. Just be careful where you go and ONLY use Uber or ride the metro. No taxis because they will rip you off. Saw about 30 Black people total while I was there. Some were Americans and some were Black Latinos.

they showed you love didn't they?
Was it hot down there?
Expensive?
How was the cuisine?
I'll try to post some pics later. My skin tone is dark. Like Ocho Cinco dark. Some people assume that you're Cuban or Colombian if you speak Spanish to them. They will almost always initiate conversation in Spanish. Some people speak a little English. The more Spanish you know, the better. It's a place where money talks. If you got the money to spend, they don't care what you look like. BUT they WILL try to take advantage of you because you're a tourist. One clown tried to charge me $2500 pesos (about $150 US) for a boat ride at Xochimilco. My wife asked the Uber driver how much they usually cost, and he laughed and said usually about $500 pesos. We ended up paying $1100 pesos like some suckers.
You will get stares for being Black, but only out of curiosity. I'm 6'4", too, so that adds more stares. I felt safe most places that I went. There were only a few areas where I was nervous and felt like a target. There is a wealthy neighborhood called Polanco where I got a lot of stares, but I felt secure there. They got nice restaurants and Gucci stores and shyt in that area. There are police everywhere in the city. Sometimes on every corner. They were staring too. I kept my debit card and ID in my front pocket at all times. My wife kept my passport and money in her pocketbook wrapped around her wrist. Didn't see any murders while I was there (thank God lol). Didn't see any crime at all really.
They have bars/clubs that play anything that you can think of. We were going to go to a reggae bar, but went somewhere else instead. You'll walk past some stores/clubs and hear them playing Michael Jackson and all kinds of Black music.
It was lovely, breh. Definitely worth the trip. I went with my wife, but y'all single brehs would eat. Especially if your Spanish is okay.

It seems that is similar to many other hispanic countries in terms of the language and the overall impression of being of darker skinned complexion. I think I'm going to take a trip to Mexico City instead of Dominican Republic due to fact that I want to see how a world class city like Mexico City holds up. No shade to my Dominicans or Santo Domingo but I want to venture more into Central and South America more.
it's 2017 there's no fukking excuse for this bullshyt....

I've heard stories about brothas going down to Mexico city and getting shown mad love.
Most of the women have never seen or even interacted with an American black man before
So when they do come in contact it's
on site they ain't wasting no time whatsoever.My boy was venturing back and forth to reynosa Mexico from mcallen TX and he got too many stories of older(40-60 yrs old) Mexican women trying to lure him into their rooms to "show him their bed"
Not only is it the largest city in the Americas but the oldest.
