RESEARCH PAPER ON MEXICO
Hmmm…. Didn’t you ever think of a place you would love to go to. Well there’s lot of places in the world, but in my opinion I have always wanted to go to Mexico because that’s were my family was born in. But unfortunately, I was born in the United States, but I still consider myself “Mexican”. If I were to go to Mexico I would chose to go to the capital city because it is so beautiful. If you want to learn more about Mexico just keep on reading.
LIFE IN THE CITIES
Throughout the 20th century, Mexico’s cities experienced rapid population growth. The most noticeable example was the nation’s capital, Mexico City, which witnessed nothing less than spectacular growth. In 1950, the city had about 3 million inhabitants; by 2000, that number had risen to 18 million. In 2006, Mexico City supported a population of more than 22 million, making it one of the most populous urban areas in the world. The types of housing in Mexico’s cities generally reflect the incomes of families that dwell in them. Teens from moderate or low income families live in modest apartments or townhouses having a few small rooms. In these dwellings, siblings often share bedrooms. In contrast, wealthier families can afford larger apartments with more rooms.
FOOD & DRINKS
Among the many items produced in Mexico’s rural regions, the most plentiful and important are various kinds of food and drink. With the exception of a few products imported from other nations, almost everything that Mexicans eat and drink is grown or made in the country. And they have become used to certain kinds of distinctive foods for their breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. For breakfast, for example, many Mexicans, especially those who must leave for work early in the morning, are used to eating light. They typically have a cup or two of home-brewed coffee and a spiced tortilla or chunk of sweet bread. Alternatives for light eaters include orange juice with a slice of cantaloupe or one or two
