Flying south, standing in Mexico City, this land is synonymous with danger in the eyes of the outside world, and there are even many remarks that think: Why didn't Lao Mei directly annex this neighbor, just as a backyard, after all, who doesn't have a trash can in their yard?

But since you're here, let's go around. Johnson's principle is to kill mistakes rather than let them go, and the more chaotic the place, there may be surprises.

From the hotel, judging from the appearance of the city alone, this is definitely not a decent city, the houses have a sense of disrepair and dilapidation, and the traffic is also chaotic and congested. On the streets, you can see real policemen, dusty women standing on the streets, unkempt homeless people and humble beggars......

Originally, I wanted to find a local sister to accompany me, but I found that although the girls here are in good shape, their facial features are too prominent, and there is a weird feeling.

Not to mention that the skin is a little dark, the problem is very rough, as if the bacon has been exposed to the wind and sun for several days, and there is no interest in it in an instant.

Along the Reform Avenue, which is equivalent to the Chang'an Avenue in the capital, runs through the north and south, and is 50 kilometers long. What is bold is that the government is completely closed, and it is dedicated to people running, cycling, walking babies and dogs, and even all kinds of cospy......

To say that here, it feels more open than the Netherlands, and every few steps you see men and women hugging each other and nibbling?

Walk to Syntagma Square, similar to **, the heart of Mexico City. Sure enough, the expectations are not too high, the square is full of vendors selling small goods, couples in love, and people sitting on the ground for self-entertainment......

The biggest attraction is a large and heavy national flag with a length of 55 meters, a width of 32 meters, and an area of more than 1,700 square meters. It's a pity that I didn't catch up, otherwise I really want to see how to operate?

Next to it is a noisy market, think about the market that I haven't visited for a long time, those in Europe are not grounded, see if there will be a feeling here.

As soon as I entered the door, all kinds of noise gave SC Johnson a familiar taste, and after walking a few steps, I found that this is really a strange market. Meat stalls are stacked with uncommon whole feathered ostriches, as well as skinned crocodiles?

There are hundreds of varieties of insects that have never been seen before, all kinds of purple and red flowers eaten by the locals, and a variety of peppers and corns......

All kinds of cacti, it stands to reason that this kind of succulent is raised in mini pots in China, and it does not grow up for many years, but in this magical land, it grows enthusiastically and greedily.

Some resemble huge trees, others resemble dense walls, as if all plants have been magnified hundreds or thousands of times. I didn't know that there was such a possibility if I didn't see it with my own eyes.

There are cats everywhere, the cats here are fat, cunning, with shiny fur, and their eyes are full of domineering that they have seen in the world, and they are not afraid of people, and it is not you who tease it at all, but people who ignore you.

I can't help it, buy some snacks and try it, the biggest feature is spicy! spicy!

Johnson had red circles in his eyes, and he was extremely self-reproachful in his heart, why would a place where peppers, corn, and insects be the food of the three major countries, not believing in evil?

Xia Long hurriedly bought a bottle of soda, and almost squirted out in one gulp. You have to put chili peppers in everything, not even soda?

Crazy!

A few months ago, I watched a Mexican movie on the Internet, which tells the story of MiG, a boy who loves music, who strays into the world of the dead on the Day of the Dead, goes through a series of exciting adventures, and is forced to realize the value of family affection when he chooses between his dreams and relatives.

At that time, the tear-jerking plot and beautiful pictures made SC Johnson very interested in the country, but he didn't expect it......

I heard that November is the Day of the Dead, and it must be celebrated with a lot of fanfare, all kinds of parades, but unfortunately it has not yet arrived. However, there is a park of the dead nearby, so it is a wish to go around.

There is a large orange flower at the door, and the movie also uses petals to lay the background, which is the protagonist flower throughout the film, called marigold, also called the flower of the Day of the Dead. Locals consider Day of the Dead to be an annual time to spend quality time with loved ones who have passed away. The road from the cemetery to the home is sprinkled with marigolds, and the spirits of the dead can return to their hometowns with the scent of flowers.

Colorful paper cutouts are hung on the top of the head, when night comes, lanterns are lit in front of the house, the dead are guided to the door, candles are lit at the cemetery, and the locals who come to pay tribute bring quilts and food to sit next to the grave, ready to keep watch all night, let the tourists walk through the grave, take pictures They will not be offended, and occasionally tourists will ask questions, and they will also answer very kindly.

Catch the show parade in the park, although not as huge as the Day of the Dead, but it is also authentic. The staff are all dressed up as various skeletons. Just as the representative of Halloween in the West is a pumpkin, the representative of the Day of the Dead is a skeleton, which represents the return of the dead.

Everyone was smiling and celebrating happily, as if death was a festival full of color. Altars for the dead with food and other items, music played in the cemetery, and skeletal poems were written to make fun of each other, all of which were inspired by the pre-Spanish colonial Indian culture.

Parents will tell their children the ins and outs of the Day of the Dead and its significance, and then dress them up for the Day of the Dead parade. Everywhere is jubilant, like a carnival. A group of beautiful women with skull makeup smiled wantonly at the audience on both sides, and the youthful atmosphere came to their faces.

Death is too far away from them, and they are happy because they don't have to go to school and play with their friends to their heart's content, which is similar to our June Day. The makeup worn by the girl can be seen to have a lot of playfulness in it, and the innocent and bright smile makes people sigh at the vivid breath of life.

Eyes, nose, mouth are key. The mouth can be turned into stitches, or a little more terrifying, a row of miserable white teeth. The eyes are painted with two rings and decorated with your favorite flowers, and the nose is painted black.

Buy a Mexican dress, flowers and exaggerated hats at the local market, where the love of flowers ranges from children to grandmothers. Always dress yourself up in a flashy way.

There are roadside stalls to buy food, and dead people's skulls are made of marshmallows, connecting the sweetness of life with the cold facts of death. With brightly colored smiles and big mouths, this candy can be found everywhere.

Even more peculiar is bread, which has different meanings depending on the shape. Human-shaped bread without legs represents ghosts, and is called Rothskat spiral bread, which represents the cycle of life. Doukhalda loafille-shaped decorated bread Ohaldra welcomes the return of the dead.

In our culture, to die is to disappear, to be separated forever. In many peoples' cultures, there is always a way to avoid death. Never before in the world has a nation so joyfully commemorated death.

All dressed up as colorful skeletons, singing and dancing, foraging, socializing, and wandering. SC Johnson didn't understand why they were able to face death.

According to the ancient Indian saying, in addition to the world where people live, there are also heavens above and below in the universe, and the deceased will enter the heavens and enter the infinite cycle of the universe.

As the film shows, in the Mexican mind, death is not the end of life, but part of the life cycle, and even if a person dies, he still lives in the memory and spirit of the group, the beginning of a new phase.

It is believed that the dead will be resurrected from the underworld on the Day of the Dead and return to the earth to meet their loved ones, and they will welcome their loved ones with the most joyful mood and enjoy their favorite things on earth together: joy, food, party, drink, music and dancing.
