Data, statistics, policy and cats. Brit in Bangkok.
Museo Nacional de Anthropologia was great (and huge). Temple Mayor museum also good, as is the Teotihuacán is a day trip, but a must see imo. If you like visiting churches, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe is good too.

Based on ny experiences, the consistency of UK and US ashes seems to be different - not sure if US mix in some kind of oil which allows the more defined crosses

Wow! Am not very familiar with the film critic world, so had never heard of the author before clicking that link - when he spoke about the producer and director coming to his class, I assumed from the rest of his he writing he was an excited undergrad! Was rather surprised on reading his bio…

Was only 2022 they moved out of Drummond Gate for the last time (for now) - London office went back there (on one floor) for about 10 years having previously left for Myddleton Street when HQ moved to Newport
