Yucatán - Day 08 - Mérida

After the conclusion of the Valladolid leg, I took a 2 hours 1st class bus to Mérida on the west coast. The bus ride in Mexico is much more civilized than the ones I experienced in India. It is very well organized, and everyone on the bus are courteous and quiet. Bus left the station on time. It traveled on tolled highway so no delay at all.

After I arrived, found out the main square was under construction. Just another piece of tourist spot under renovation, again...

I quickly jumped to the shopping district, and to me, it strangely resemble the streets of Mongkok. Two completely unrelated cities, how can they be so similar? All the pedestrian only streets, with street stands set up in front of shops, mixed with department stores, and food stands in the corner. Somehow we just think the same way maybe.
