Hasta Luego Mexico

first, Mexico was so great!!!
i was really surprised. i heard good things about Mexico, but i didn't know what to expect. and i had so much fun (inspite of the company ;)).
and i really feel like i must go back there some day and spend around 3 months over there

a few anecdotes and points i wanted to write...

• there are still Mayan people!! i thought they were extinct long ago, but apparently, there are still Mayan communities to this day. well, at least up until a few weeks ago...
• a weird thing i noticed concerned the traffic lights for pedestrians.in most of the places, there are no such things.but occasionally, you can find them in the big cities. especially in Mexico city.but even then, you have a big junction with one or two such traffic lights.that means, that even if you have traffic lights, the pedestrians on the other side, waiting to cross to where you are, don't have any!!
• well, you know what they say about polish policemen? that they are patrolling 2 cops with a dog - one to read, one to write and the dog for the thinking part... well, in Mexico, Chen did all the talking - she's the best in that. But Roy understood their Spanish better, and had to translate to her every now and than. and i did the reading part... some trio we were!!!
• the Mexican whistle a lot. I'm not used to it. my father and Roy are whistling quite a lot, and so every time i heard a whistle, i thought it was meant for me. and as i said, they whistle a lot...
• i really liked the Mexican food. especially the fried bananas, and of course the frijoles (beans) but almost everything i tried.
• the Mexican are very dirty. or rather, they tend to make a lot of dirt.
• on the dia de los muertos, on one of the performances, they had lots and lots of periscopes. there were a few guys selling them, and there were hundreds of them used by the audience. it was a bit funny. by the way, the periscopes were made from used card boxes.

well, that's Mexico for me... and I miss it!
