Drugs, weapons and nutcases as far as the eye can see? If you believe current reports in the media, then Mexico is a lot more brutal than director Robert Rodriguez could ever have dreamed of when filming his bullet-riddled cult flick 'El Mariachi'. But the fact that the Central American country does indeed have a lot more to offer than sombreros, pistoleros and brass bands is proven by this issue's 'Mexico City' feature by our writer Johannes Thumfart.
