Random Thoughts

* The cheese is rubbery and squeeks on my teeth when I chew.
* All the toilet paper is scented, which makes blowing your nose an interesting experience.
* No Cuencano man with an ounce of masculity can let a gringa (white girl) walk by without exclaiming, "Hello! Hey baby!"
* Desserts may look delicious, but usually they are dry and tasteless.
* If you buy cheap seats at a reggaeton concert "you will get pregnant." (As told to me by my students!)
* It`s not unusual to see a clown in full make-up and costume, strolling down the street.
* You buy milk in a box in the cereal aisle, and eggs individually across from the chips and cheezies. There I was thinking they`d be in the refridgerator aisle!
* If you lean away, they`ll kiss you anyways.
* The idea of privacy is non-existant. So is the idea of feminism.
* Because I have blond hair and blue eyes, people assume they can rip me off (and often do).
* If you take a pamphlet from a guy on the street, it will be covered with a poisonous powder of persuasion.
* A bottle of Zhumir (sugar cane alcohol) is less than $3 for 26 ounzes, but a decent pair of shoes costs more than $40.
* "Latin blood is always HOT!" (As told to me by some guy who tried to grope me by the river)

You make me laugh! Do they have mayo in a bag like I saw in Gautemala on the shelf?
