a lot of people started to make threads like this one so i decided i should also do one.
these pics r form monterrey, it were i was born and where i lived most of my life in, its not a very turistic place but if u live there its great, thers everything u need there and the people r great!(and the girls r hot!)
hers a little explanation i found just so u know a little about it
"Monterrey is ~180 miles south of McAllen, Texas. It is Mexico's commercial and industrial jewel. It is also perhaps the most Americanized of Mexico's large cities. It boasts about 4 million inhabitants in a largely urban setting surrounded by beautiful mountains."
there go the pics:
this one is almost exactly as the view i had from my house, if u follow a concrete wall in the bottom left up and up i think my hpuse would b there

this is a mountain which monterrey is known for, its called "el cerro de la silla" which kinda means the mountain of the chair meaning the horse chair because it kinda looks like one

heres another one in the night time, and that is the old part of monterrey, kinda like a downtown, but its not like in the us that all the building r in the downtown, here all the building r kinda in the outside.

Here I am ;) I missed this topic in the SQL mess up :D

Thanks for sharing with us :) to bad you didn't post "personal" pics, but again, it's always nice to see places I never saw :D and I loves the emplacement of Monterrey! That racetrack with the mountains in the background is suggestive!

Cool city. From those over head shots it looks very "middle east". Those mountains look great. They remind me of the Vancover pics I saw in the other thread.
