Okay, I love reading about and seeing other countries and their culture. I just find it interesting to learn new things and see different sights. So here is the place where you can post pictures and/or facts of a country and its culture. You can pick a specific state or area not the whole country.
Okay I'll start off and I'll be doing it mostly on Mexico city and Mexican culture since I visited last June and loved it.

(different Cathedral)Bishop Juan de Palafox y Mendoza re-started (requested by King Philip IV) and consecrated the Puebla Cathedral, the first Cathedral to be consecrated in New Spain, in fewer than nine years, from 1640-1659. the cathedral had been begun in 1575 per orders of Philip II:
