I thought I would want to when I came back, but I'm really not that interested in the traditional school exchange. I am, however, looking at gap programs. idk, I'm a bit confused right now to be honest. |

I definitely recommend a community service program with AFS if you're looking for something slightly less "traditional" but still with a comparable amount of support.

Any DF recommendations? It's been 2 years since I've been so I'm assuming there's some new stuff. I think I'm going to spend 2 or 3 days there. I didn't get to the Frida Kahlo house or Xochimilco last time, so those are definitely on my list. |

The botanical garden at UNAM looked cool and it's also on the south side of the city. If you haven't done it already, I liked Chapultepec Castle (and you would actually be able to read the descriptions!). One thing I really wanted to do but missed (due to dead legs after Teotihuacan) was the bell tower tour at the cathedral where you get to go on the roof. |

Yeah, the view from Chapultepec castle is great! I'm trying to decide if I want to stay around the Zócalo or Chapultepec this time, or maybe in Zona Rosa.. |

I loved the Zona Rosa. We were at the Ibis Styles, which is right by a pedestrian area and a subway stop (and a 24-hour Casa de Toño!) and a quick walk to Condesa. |
