(because lately I have a thing for lists).
Maybe you’ll have some answers for me.
10 things in Mexico that I still have yet to understand…
1.
Where all my money goes
2.
Conjugations and uses of “haber”
3.
Why the city doesn’t invest in dumpsters so the
dogs don’t tear up all of the trash

4.
How all Mexican babies and children can
be so incredibly adorable. All of them. If I was baby-hungry before, I’m baby starving now…
5.
Why so many people wear neck braces (seriously,
it’s the biggest mystery. It’s a constant subject in question between Shanequa
and I: “did everyone just go and snap their necks at the same time? Do people
go to neck-snapping parties? Where do all of these people come from!?”).
6.
How some people can stand up on buses using only
one hand to hold onto the rails…and not even budge when the bus puts on the
brakes (vs. myself who is always falling forward and nearly landing on top of
people whenever I stand up-I’m sure it’s very entertaining to watch).

7.
How people make a living for themselves and
their families by selling gum, newspapers and bouquets of flowers on the
streets
8.
The driving: there are no speed limits in the
city, no one wears seatbelts or uses turn signals, people cut each other off,
create their own lanes and stop in the middle of traffic to talk to a buddy in
the car next to them and yet…I’ve been here a month and never have seen a car
accident, a dead body (human or animal) or even an ambulance on the road. Incredible.
Should I be taking notes?
9.
Why a bag of chocolate chips is so expensive;
there is a Hershey’s plant in Mexico now! {necessities shouldn’t cost so much}
10. How Mexicans can make food that my mouth
yearns for but my stomach despises {can’t we all just get along?}
