pozole, cheap sushi, atole, flavored water, assorted antojitos
domesitc servant
staring at people on the metro
staring at people on the street
having people on the metro and the street stare at me
sleeping late
not thinking deeply about anything
urinating in public
drinking 4 nights a week (or at all, really)
littering
kicking dogs
acting low class and having people assume i'm high class because i'm white
posts were getting boring--how much can people talk about food? i think the food is definitely not the best part of living in mexico. |

You two have been taken in. If you like Bonice, you have to try the real thing, real mom and pop bolis. Bonice are just a cheap corporate immitation of bolis. S  |
Actually, it's not that Bonice are so amazing, it's more that I can keep them in my freezer and when I am super hot, j I can just lie in my hammock eating one.... |

I think you're right M@tt, the food rocks, but it isn't everything.
I'm addicted to going to antros, I go at least once a week. And listening to live music, something I never did in Canada. I like how people here really maximize their oppertunities for fun. |

glad you enjoyed it
most of them were real but i'm not saying which. and i realize that in the name of decency, this thread has to be more boring than it could be. a bit of a tease if you ask me! |

the usual "hey gringa!" and assorted pick-up lines and compliments. One time, I was walking, and this guy on a motorcycle passed me, paused, looked at me, revved his engine, and then continued on his way. I just think it's really entertaining. |
It can be entertaining-I've learned to take it that way since there's no point getting annoyed about it. However, one day I was walking on the sidewalk and a guy was so busy looking at me and yelling "gringa" that he didn't watch where he was going and almost ran into me. His tires came right up on the sidewalk and I had to jump out of the way. |

I've been called 'guero' a couple of times.  I guess it beats being called 'calvo'. |

dang! that's pretty awesome. a couple of my friends and i had an interesting encounter once when coming home from a concert late at night...we were walking and this guy in a truck started just driving slowly alongside us, it was pretty creepy, until a cop drove up, which made the guy drive away...then the cop asked us if we were ok and drove by us for the rest of the walk. i was really surprised! |

In Colombia you go to prison for that! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4746760.stm
In Mexico, I was walking out of an abarrotes once and the drunk guy who'd been sitting in the corner watching me make my purchases screamed out at the top of his lungs "I LOVE YOU!!!". I laughed so much I could barely stand. |
