When we drove out of the city to Teotihuacan, we saw cable cars!
The Mexican colleague told us that they were simply a form of public transportation, because the valley was rather dangerous. By taking the cable cars, bandits couldn’t stop your car on the highway and rob you. :P
There were also some buildings on a hillside, that reminded me of Gamcheon Culture Village.
There are plenty of squirrels on the streets of Mexico. One day I managed to snap a few (blurry) photos.
Try to spot the squirrel in this first photo.

| You can just make out its head beside the tree! |
Can't spot it? Well, after that it turned around, and we can see its tail where its head was earlier.

| this one should be noticeable enough :P (now go back and find the head in the previous photo!) |

And that's all I managed to get. :P
While on the road, I saw two services being offered that are not available in Malaysia. One is a shoe-shining service.
Another was a windshield-cleaning service.
The first time I saw someone running up to a car holding a bottle of white liquid, I thought some sort of vandalism was going to happen! And then suddenly they started washing. It was cars stopped at a traffic jam; seems like they have a lot of faith in their traffic jams, and that they would be able to finish cleaning before traffic started moving again.
Another time we saw someone doing a performance (juggling some batons, I think) in front of the cars at a traffic light. After that, they went to cars getting donations/tips. It seems that people will actually roll down their window offering tips! The Israeli colleague wanted to give a tip, but he was a little slow and the traffic started to move, so it was too late.
