		<description><![CDATA[Emerging onto the Paseo Reforma after a late breakfast, I walked into a spirited and rather unusual protest. A band of disgruntled farmers from Veracruz had taken to the streets in an on-going feud with the Mexican government - stark naked. This is direct action at its best. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The life of a travel writer involves constant transit. Even after I have returned home after some weeks on the road, I often wake up in the night and wonder where I am. Travel writing, guidebook writing, involves constant change. Life takes on a rapidly shifting, scenic quality - always perceived from the outside. This is the essence of this piece.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the UK, the term ‘Trotskyite’ is usually a masked insult reserved for militant Trade Unionists, political dinosaurs, or a certain type of scruffy idealist, usually attired in a beret and German Army shirt (these are a dying breed, admittedly). But at a small museum in Mexico City, it’s considered a compliment of the highest order.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Zócalo is overrun with Death. All around us skeletons are grinning and dancing and engaged in endless mocking diversions. A metro train is packed full of ghoulish spectres and the living are fighting to get on board. Death is making tortillas and her starving family are waiting to be fed. A band of farmers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One morning, I take a trip out to the entertainment district &#8211; the Zona Rosa – the Pink Zone. There’s plenty of big name restaurants here with big, bright, boasting signs shouting loudly for all the plastic and neon they’re worth. But really it’s rather drab and commercial and hideously overpriced. Still, the gringos love [...]]]></description>

Mexico City – with all its wonderful and monstrous machinations – is taking over. This is the 24-hour aspect to the job. The constant working of ideas. Endless thinking, analysing, planning.

		<description><![CDATA[Time to survey the hotels in the Centro Historico. This is Mexico City at its oldest and grandest, where Latin America’s largest Cathedral overlooks the world’s second largest public square, overflowing with Catholic exuberance. Nearby, enormous pillared structures house the offices of power, reminiscent of some great European palace. Between these imposing edifices, endless colonial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people reckon the life of a guidebook writer is charmed, and in many ways it is. But let's not overlook the work involved. On a typical day, the guidebook writer will visit 20-30 hotels and restaurants before retiring to his chosen lodgings for an evening of paperwork. These notes were penned during my time in Mexico City, after a day in the working class suburb of Tabacalera.  ]]></description>
