We went to share and learn with this nice construction crew, all of them very proud of being Chilangos.

These friendly and animated guys are hardworking chilangos. That’s how people from Mexico City are known around Mexico. Let’s share a bus ride with them and learn some slang about workers and working in and around Chilangolandia.

It’s a perfect time for sitting back and taking a break from your work day.
