Mehhicco, Tequila and Tortillas!

I have been bad. But I am amazingly good! I have been in Mexico. For many months now. But no blogging. But que puedo decir - mañana mañana mentality! Me encanta Messiccoo. Its a fabulous country. And as I firmly stated this is not a diary of what I eat.. It is not really the sun-palm trees-pool trio place I thought, but it has way more magic than I predicted.
The food is VERY strong. And with mucha variacion - tortilla with meat, tortilla with pork, tortilla with cheese, tortilla with pigskin, tortilla with fish, tortilla with steak, tortilla with beans. Red salsa, or green salsa? And Coriander all over. What are we having today?
The people are extremely friendly. Helpful. Open. Fun. Generous. Me encanta. MacStore didn't sell the converter I needed. Neither the cable extension. Two blocks later I hear a razzling sound of keys in the pocket of someone running - I have a cable here, its a bit old if you dont mind but you can have it. Generous sporty people. I like.
School is reviving the kindergarden concept again. No-brains. Homeworks, attendance, controles, class-participation, teacher naming you randomly to answer during class, exams every month.. Hello responsibility and freedom. You gotta be a heavy daydreamer to not be able to know by heart every tiny decimal of the lovely churros accounting exercise. The guys of sombreroland are extreme gentlemen. Let's hope I don't get used to it since it will be very hard to get back to reality outside princess-world. I think I have lost my arm muscles by now. Haven't opened a car door or pulled out a chair for months. Always ladies first. First out the elevator. First up the stairs. Always ladies always everything. Very respectful. Talk well. No pushing. No stalking. Taking the time. And definitely no action. The wine is terrible. The tequila is not that bad. The lemons are green. The tomatoes as well. The party is excellent, at human hours. The air is dirty, and so gets the hair and face in no time. The beer is golden. The accent is funny, but listen to me now and my Argentine boludoing is far far gone :(
And I have made amazing friends.

Hola Mexico, me espantas pero me encantas!
