Ana is very happy to be a student at the UAM [Autonomous Metropolitan University]. She says that the UAM is one of the best Universities in Mexico: it is affordable, flexible and offers academic excellence.

Juan is a seller of large garden plants in the fashionable La Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City. Luckily for us, he was willing to tell us a little about his lovely merchandise, most of which grows native in the lush mountains of Oaxaca.
