Mexican trip after 8 years: Housing Life style and decoration

I have been in my second week living with family in Mexico City and last weekend visited Cuernavaca, in the state of Morelos. The difference between social classes is huge. Nevertheless, people even in poverty have a sence of lifestyle and some pretty decorative sence here. Decoration in life is important in Mexican Culture. We cannot be extremely minimalist, and sometimes we are living in an over decorated place.

(16/06/2014) Recently I found an interesting article about Mexico City's architecture, especially about Luis Barragán's buildings and sculptural architecture. As a Mexican who has no longer continue living in México for 18 years, I related very much with the article. Please click here to see the full article.

Here I will show some pictures from places that are considered middle-high class to high class standards. The use of space in the living area must be big. Mexicans like big places, not narrow corridors with no light.

On my way to Cuernavaca, then the house in Cuernavaca

Entering the house my family rented for the weekend. Fantastic!

I had also the opportunity of attending a wedding in The Brena Garden in Cuernavaca. A very luxurius garden. The Wedding was in the garden and the Party was also next to the garden. Here is a glimpse of the place.
