It turns out that on September 8th, I will be in Mexico City overnight; my plane comes in in the early afternoon and I fly out the next morning at 7 am. It seems like it would be a shame to be there and not try to meet up with you! I also wondered if you could recommend a safe but cheap place to stay?
One day apperance? I'm sure I can make it, it would be interesting, although currently I live in Querétaro, which is quite close. The city is a huge monster, but I lived there for 7 years, so I know some stuff about it if you need to know anything.

Awesome, it would be rad if we could hang out! Tips on what to do and where to go (especially given that my Spanish is minimal) would be fab.
Depends on the zone that you will traverse thru, like, the city is not huge in terms of kilometrical size, but it is in terms of density of things, places and people; traffic and trasportation can become an issue, for example, travelling from southmost to northernmost usually takes 2 and a half hours because one needs to mix buses with metro and vans to get thru, while travelling from westmost to easternmost takes only 30-40 minutes because one only need to use the metro.

I'll be coming from the airport; I can't really tell what to expect of the area from maps. I need to do some reading!

Hows your research going? You can ask me whatever.

Iiiiiiii don't even know. At one point I found a hostel I was going to ask you about, but then I forgot, so I am going to leave this window open as a reminder to myself to find it and ask you about the neighborhood.
