Okuduğum parça:
I've always been fascinated by Mexico, even as a child. So I was excited about coming here from Canada as a foreign correspondent, and since I arrived I haven't been disappointed in anything.

It's such a wonderful country full of colors, sounds and smells that are so different from those back home. Before I came here, I'd read that Mexico had a much slower pace of life than Canada - but I soon realised they weren't talking about Mexico City. Waking up early enough to avoid the 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. rush hour wasn't easy at first, but now 'I'm used to getting up at 5 a.m. every day.

And as for driving here, 'I'm slowly getting used to it - but when I first arrived I was absolutely terrified of being in a car. This is a city of 20 million people and it feels like they're all on the road at the same time. But don't get me wrong, I'm really impressed with the way Mexicans drive, they're amazing. And of course there are rules of the road - it just takes a while for 3a foreigner to get used to them.

For example, I've learned to ignore traffic lights. For months I annoyed every traffic cop in Mexico City by stopping at red lights while they were desperately trying to keep the traffic moving.
