For example, about the Lucha Libre, wrestling in Mexican style. After being slightly stressed beforehand due to the extremely impractical ticketing system, the actual event was really fun. But even better than the actual fights were without a doubt the outfits of the fighters and the show around it, including interaction with the audience. It is really hard for me to put the experience into words, so it's best to see it for yourself. And yes, there were also little people in the ring.
I also went to a Salsa club for the first time (no, I can't dance Salsa, but of course I still tried it). Overall, it was a really cool experience because it was completely different from clubs I know in Germany. There was a live band, people of all age groups were present, and everything was colorful and illuminated. Unfortunately, this doesn't come across so well in the photos, but maybe you can imagine roughly what it was like.
Furthermore, very typical for Mexico are the various craft markets. I particularly liked the weekly art market in San Angel. It felt a bit like walking through an open-air art museum.
The Bosque Chapultepec is by far the largest park in the city and has a lot to offer. There are several lakes, museums, a zoo, and endless opportunities to eat something. From the Castillo (now the Mexican National Museum) you have a beautiful view over the surrounding neighborhoods.
View towards Roma Sur (where I live) and Condesa
View towards Polanco (the upscale neighborhood of the city)
View towards Reforma (the main avenue of the city connecting the park to the center)
View towards Roma Norte

This week is also the Dia de Muertos here. I will tell you more about what it is and how it looks like next time.
