Mexico

I'm studying abroad in Mexico (the non 'death to American citizens' areas) and this is what I have learned so far:


- Dividing lines of lanes on the road are like speed limits: suggestions that are primarily ignored.

- The stereotype of a million 7/11 stores is somewhat true

- Your American friends and family have a sneaking suspicion that you might get kidnapped by a drug lord, although that's really unlikely.

- They believe in air conditioning (sorry Costa Rica, Mexico is winning this one).

- Little kids who sell flowers in the street are so damn cute that they become VERY convincing. Good call sending wide-eyed kids to sell souvenirs, good call.

- Bikinis are cheap (personal yay!)

- Mayan cultural relics are awesome. (No latent sarcasm in this one. The Mayan aspects of culture are seriously cool).
