I never thought a simple trip to Mexico City for a video game conference would teach me so much about life—and air pollution. When my friends and I planned this getaway, we imagined non-stop gaming, cool merch, and maybe some sightseeing. What we got instead was an adventure filled with unexpected twists: me getting sick from the city’s infamous smog, getting lost in unfamiliar streets, and learning the hard way that not every souvenir is worth buying. But you know what? Despite the chaos—or maybe because of it—this trip became one of my most memorable experiences. It wasn’t the conference itself that stuck with me; it was the unplanned moments in between that truly mattered.
A MEXICO CITY TRIP WITH FRIENDS (didn't went as expected)
One experience I had to claim was going to Mexico City, because I had to go with all my friends and I to a video game conference. It only happened a month ago. So we went to Mexico City.
One thing I took into consideration was the pollution. I was told the city was heavily polluted by humidity, the cars emitting gases, all the buses, the factories. So when we got there, I got sick.
When I got sick, when I was sick, I had to keep a car in my car, and I had to buy a mask, because I was sick. So, we had to ask people how we got to a place or another station. It was good, it was enjoyable, because we got to explore the whole city.
Yes, if you're wondering, yes. We got lost on one part of the trip, but we made it to our destination, which was the video game conference held at a hotel near Bellas Artes. Everything went well; the whole gang went.
I have to say it was enjoyable, despite my illness, because we ended up at a party, and we met all the people—a lot of people, you know? All the people at the party. It was a good time. I have to say, you shouldn't buy things.
A lot of things, necessary. But if you're going to share those things with the people you care about, or who are important to you, that's good, but not always. And more than that, the experiences are more valuable, much more valuable, in my opinion.
I mean, we went to a lot of places, ate a lot of things, shared a beer, a soda, any kind of food with my friends, you know? It was all good. Experiences are more valuable than things.
Looking back, Mexico City didn’t go as planned—but that’s exactly what made it special. Yes, the pollution hit me hard (note to self: always pack medication), and yes, we got lost more than once. But those struggles led us to explore parts of the city we never would’ve seen otherwise. The crowded markets, the kindness of strangers who helped us find our way, and that unforgettable party where we met so many new people—those were the real highlights. Most importantly, this trip reminded me that the best memories aren’t things you can buy.
