Ok… As the Miami boss suggested, we have a another secret city in the Americas. This time, south of the border, down Mexico way!

Just one problem…





...It’s not on the map.

Now. I thought I knew how this worked.

For Anchorage, I had to find Calgary, select it, opening the menu, close it, then move the cursor upwards. This would then push the map upwards, and I'd find Alaska.

For Mexico, surely it would work the same way with Houston, but just move south, right?

Well, wrong.

I really struggled with this one. I couldn't get the map to move down. I was starting to think it was a translation error, or there was something obvious I was missing.

I had to study the hint again:


: To get to Mexico City. We're heading down the coast from Houston.



Down the coast… I tried to move it diagonally, I tried move it along the pixels on the coast. Still... nothing.

I was just about to give up when suddenly, it just worked, and the map moved!





With Mexico City in sight, I didn't question it, I just slammed the go button!





And, a short 34 hour coastal trip later… we find ourselves in Mexico City!





: This isn’t a shop…



No Hiro it sure isn't. This is a city home to 10 million people.

Perhaps we can talk to one of these 10 million locals. They'll know where we can find a Zero4 shop. Besides, you were all curious at how this game would depict Mexican people.





And here is one now! Rising out of the fountain as if we summoned him.

Apparently, Mexicans, or at least this one, resemble Salvador Dali, with slicked back hair, wispy long moustache and crazy eyes. Dali was Spanish, so uh, close enough, I guess.


: Sorry, I'll post the zero yon parts here. Is there anywhere that sells it?






Okarimocho! Subaru Domingo!


Oh, right, they don't speak Americanese in Mexico. They speak Mexicanese.

We did pick up a few words however - including ‘Subaru Domingo.’

The Subaru Domingo, is a ‘micro-van’ - i.e a Kei van. Seriously look at this cute little thing…





I'm guessing this is a joke, as ‘Domingo’ is Spanish for Sunday, and of course the makers of this game associate everything with Japanese cars.

So, the logical joke was that this guy speaks in the most Mexican sounding Japanese car words.


: Ugh, I can't understand what you're saying! Find it for yourself.



Well. Doesn't look like there's much we can do here at the moment. Let's keep hitting the Talk, Look, Part time job and Shop buttons until something happens.


: I'm pretty sure he said he didn't do the 0-40 in Miami.



: Where is the shop?



: There's nothing I can do because we don't understand each other's language.



: Oh that sign is…


: … not a stop sign






Aha! That last one did the trick! It appears we've found the mysterious Mexican shop.


: welcome



And we meet the shopkeeper. Man, nothing says welcome like ‘I have a loaded pistol‘

I gotta say though, the pink suit is pretty sharp.

It seems like the Anchorage Witch, this Mexican gangster has a variety of different occult shit on the shelves


Can you show me what you have for sale?



: Ok!






And just like the Anchorage Witch, he seems to have a good range of seemingly useless things on sale.

There's:
If I try to select any of these to get a description….


: What is this used for?


: It doesn't matter!



Who are we to question the guy with the gun?


: What to do?



Well. Even though we don’t have the cash, I’ll somehow scrape up a way to get everything on sale here like we did last time. There's bound to be something useful in there. Any guesses to what these do?


And, since we've finished Mexico City, we've got another choice to make...


Where are we going next?
