20 cool things they have in Mexico that we should have in America.

So I know I've only been here for 2 weeks. And I haven't visited all of Mexico or even all of Querétaro or every home or talked with that many Mexicans that aren't students. But. I don't think it ever hurts to just be grateful for a few things. And thus far, this is what I have observed-just a few things that make Mexico (and Mexicans) great. Please ignore the fact that about 30% of this list consists of food.

20 Cool things they have in Mexico that we should have in America:

Basketball court a block or two away from where I live.

1. Tile floors that keep your house cooler.
2.  Pre-toasted toast (no toaster needed; use the money you were going to buy a toaster with to buy churros.)
3. Soup before dinner. Its light and you won’t eat as much for dinner.
4. Better granola bars.
5. A really inexpensive bus system.
6. Chile flavored everything.
7. Humble people.
   
8.  Music played LOUD
9. Little tiendas (stores) every few blocks.
10. That being friendly is expected.
11. So much color.
12. People that are happy with a lot less than you and I have.
13. REAL tacos, tamales and burritos. I don’t think Taco Bell even exists here. And I don’t miss it.
14. Kissing people on the cheek when you meet (air kisses, usually, but still, so nice)
15. Cuter babies.
16. How romantic the men are and how many of them stick around to take care of the cute babies (it seems).
17.  Relationships are more important than schedules (they are a polychromic people. Learned about this in cultural paradigms last semester. Pretty cool.)
18. Like 304 different of varieties of fruit that are delicious.
19. Being late to things often isn’t a problem, unless its to work or school. Everything else it’s totally fine. So I fit in incredibly well.
20. People that love God.
