The Misadventures of Erandi In Mexico

These e-mails are almost 4 years old, but they were fairly amusing when I was that young.

Epsisode 1: Some Stuff Happens
Well guys I´m finally in Mexico. I finally bothered to check a map as to see
where I was, and it´s pretty deep inside Mexico. If Mexico were a person, I
would be around the anus of Mexico. I say that because it´s hot, smelly,
dirty, and diseased. Just like most of our anususes (s´, sus´, I don´t know
how to spell that). The plane ride was o.k.(my first one ever), but we made
like two stops and that was a pain in the butt. I also got into and
arguement with one of the stewardesses because she wouldn´t let me open a
window even though it was hella stuffy....... jerks. When I finally got here
I went to eat with my tio Rodolfo at some Mexican Denny´s called Vips. I was
shocked by the prices ´cause I forgot that the the dollar equals about 11
pesos. I thught I was buying a burger for 65 bucks!!!! But I´m just an
idiot. The streets are flipin´crazy here, man!! Traffic laws are more like
traffice suggestions. Jay walking is like some sort of domestic sport here.
So is trying not to run them over. The whole place is so overwhelimingly
urban, which is sort of cool. Apartments are the main type of housing here
so there are no front or backyards. In fact, now that I think about it, I
don´t think I´ve seen a park or any large piece of green earth since I´ve
been here. So many people too!!! Solitude is a thing of legends around here.
You can´t really go anywhere without having someone else there with you. I´m
not going out to Paracho until next weekend, sorta dissapointed about that.
But I guess I can learn a lot here in the capital. Like corruption. Also
more shooping time. Oh wait..... I don´t really like shopping. I´ll try to
find you guys something nice though. Wel I miss all of you and I´ll write
again soon. Unless nothing interseting happens. In which case it might be a
while.
