Learning about Mexico...Morelia, Tzintzuntzan, Puebla!

Bare in mind that I have not formaily lived in Mexico. So here is some rumbbling about what I have learned about the cities that I have visited in Mexico. So far, I have noticed a lot of positive things one can appreciate and learn from Mexico. One of the greatest things that I have experienced is the need of individuals to make something out of themeselves. Live here is so harsh that people do whatever it takes to make life. On the other hand, people have developed a sensce of high sel- esteem and don´t take offense of things too personal. There are three things that most cities in Mexico have and that I have learned from. 1. People here are very business oriented. They sell, buy, trade anything! For example, a few days ago I met a lady who owned a computer cafe, who gave English leassons, who rented appartments, who gave vaccine shots, who rented a telephone service, and who knows what other things she did. So my learning leasson here is that most individuals can be business minded given the situation....you just have to fine tune some things, find your market and begin making the bucks. The most imoprtant thing is to get off my butt!! 2. People here don´t waste anything and save like crazy. I know of a friend who does not waste anything. I have found myself to be quite wasteful in colthes, food, and the most expenseve of all, beer. I have learned that if you want to make it anywhere in this country you really have to save, save, save and you can get what you need and possibly what you want. 3. The third thing that I learned in Mexico is to be confident and motivate yourself. Here there are different classes of individuals and everyone is aware of that. So in order to co-exist, one must learn how to deal with the discrimination, the class clash, and the overt signs of your class. So what have I learned...I have learned to relly on myself and always walk with my head high and aknowledge my self-worth. This are the three things that I have learned from this country and some of the things that I plant to put in practice starting now. I hope you find this story interesting...I willl give you a more descriptive one later because that will take a lot of time to descrive. The colors, the smells, the sights, the ideas, and the social role are something to experince.... Pictures and Videos to come!!
