Observations

January 21st, 2010

Day 3. Safe has made a miraculous recovery from The Revenge.  Yesterday’s mole must have have done the trick, or perhaps he only had the Curse of the Camino Real (in-joke if you remember the spoof TV series Zorro and Son) and not The “Standard” Revenge.

Met a friendly Canadian at brekky and asked him if he knew Sherief.  Sherief, do you know him?  By the way, Happy Birthday, Sherief!  And Happy Birthday, Aseema!  We couldn’t find any cake, but here’s a photo of some teeth-itchigly sweet fruit soaked in syrup instead:

Sweeeet!

Birthday sweets

Today we reflected on “the little things” that we’ve observed in Mexico:

  1. Why do the traffic wardens carry guns?
  2. The city is incredibly clean.  Every corner you turn, someone is sweeping something.
  3. The pedestrian crossings not only tell you how many seconds you have left to cross the road, but display a helpful animated character which shows you exactly how to do it.
  4. There are 13 million people who live in Mexico City and half of them seem to be wearing military uniform and playing the Harmonipan on every street corner.   What does it mean?
  5. It’s very easy to make songs and poetry rhyme in Spanish.

      @Aseema, there are other cool animated characters we hope to bring you soon. Each state seems to have its own cuddly crossing person!
