{"product_id":"ten-days-in-mexico-city","title":"Ten Days in Mexico City","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first in Lawrence Burton's potty-mouthed five volume memoir of his travels in Mexico. In September 1999, never having been anywhere outside of England, Lawrence Burton bought a plane ticket and went to stay in Mexico City for a couple of weeks. He was alone, bewildered, and had experienced serious trouble getting anything from that Teach Yourself Spanish course to stick, but it was something he felt he had to do. He visited museums, climbed temple platforms, failed to take in the paintings of JosŽ Mar’a Velasco, ate a mysterious brown substance that was probably instant mashed potato made with beef stock, endured the scorn of small children, saw Barney the Dinosaur, and kept a diary. This is that diary, a record of culture shock as it happens, and an improvised train of archeological and anthropological thought seasoned with jokes about wanking. This is probably a new kind of travel writing. Maybe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lawrence Burton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44218464436385,"sku":"9781111131655","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/124mv4dv-front-shortedge-384_60bcfe4e-944c-4969-af81-3306c3d17214.jpg?v=1748416662","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/ten-days-in-mexico-city","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
