Ultrabook Project: Mexico City Through Pictures
Stop #2 on the UltrabookTM Project tour was Mexico City, Mexico. The team chose Mexico City because of its rich culture.
In Mexico City, will.i.am was out to discover the threads that connect his East L.A. roots with the capital city. Given its large Hispanic population and the popularity of urban street art, East LA has a vibe similar to Mexico City.
