Life in Mexico

 Here in Mexico, Google blocks all your accounts because it thinks you are an impostor. 

It asks you security questions like "What is your mobile number?" When I set up my google account, I thought I'd invent a mobile number so google has less of my details. Which was an error, a time consuming ERROR.

2. Here in Mexico, people don´t see anything wrong with calling a sports brand 'Athlete's Foot'...

3. Here in Mexico, as well as having safety briefings about fire alarms, we are also taught how to react in an earthquake or volcanic eruption

4. Here in Mexico, (or at least in Puebla) only the brave wear skirts and shorts. 

The insects will smell your fresh guera blood and suck it. That is why everyone wears jeans. Also there are loads of random statues. As if we needed more bugs...

5. Here in Mexico, the football stadium is called:
THE TEMPLE OF PAIN

6. Here in Mexico, people pump up the reggaet/on and get their groove on when driving. Repeat when stationary.

7. El Moco de King Kong

Here in Mexico, marketing strategies are a little more 'out there'.
This hair gel, for example, is called 'el moco de King Kong' (King Kong's snot).
It comes in bright green/bright yellow.
Gross.

8. El mal del puerco

Here in Mexico, they put lots of lard/butter/oil, chile, meat and cheese in every meal
from breakfast through til dinner. Foreigners without an "est/omago del burro" (donkey's stomach) will find themselves with "el mal del puerco" (illness from being a pig) and the bathroom will become their new best friend.
