El Camión

So... picking up where i left off I got semi-lost in the city the other day. I caught the bus on the wrong side of the road and it took me to the slums. So I re-caught the bus and it took me to the right part of town, but for some reason it didn't stop where it picked me up in the morning and I had no idea where I was so I had to navigate me way back to Burger King [not because I needed a burger, but because that is where my stop is] and find my way home. When I did get home Lety and Jorge were really angry that I didn't call and it was very hard to explain why I didn't let them know where I was and what happened seeing as they don't speak English very well. So yeah. That was exciting.

What other adventures have I had? Yesterday I ate at El Pollo Loco, which roughly translates to 'The Crazy Chicken' and is basically a Mexican version of KFC. It was pretty damn gross, but I ate my disgusting fried chicken like a good girl. I just hope they don't take me there again.

After that we went to Jorge's dead sister's house. I'm not entirely sure what we were doing there, but it felt really weird poking around some dead person's home looking for whatever they were looking for. It was a really nice house though. Probably nicer than Jorge and Lety's. And it looked like she had a lot of expensive stuff in there. So I'm guessing she was well-off before she died.

Also, I went clubbing at Señor Frogs, which, apparently, is a famous Mexican icon that people in the states go crazy for. Its basically just like any other dingy club you would go to though. I had a lot of fun, although I am now officially know as the 'weird Australian kid' because I don't drink alcohol.

Mexicans are so weird. I swear they have like... now laws. You don't have to wear seatbelts. In fact Lety's car doesn't even have seatbelts in the back seats. Well it does, but there is nowhere to plug them in. Also we squeezed 7 people into a tiny car last night and apparently the police don't care if you do it. Apparently its normal. Also, there is no blood alcohol limit.. you can drink drive if you want. And it is absolutely crazy at 2-5 in the morning with all these drunken idiots driving around town. And oh yeah, marijuana is legal as well as cocaine and an assortment of other dangerous recreational drugs. I think its because the government couldn't stop the drug cartels so they decided to make it legal and tax it hardcore.

Another weird Mexican thing is that when someone blows out the candles on their birthday cake someone always pushes the birthday person's face into it. What a waste of perfectly good cake. Last night only a little bit of the cake got squished, so people could still eat some of it, but I seriously don't get why people would go to the trouble of making a really nice cake and then ruining it. apparently they do it at weddings too, which means people could waste up to like... $500 or something. Prices for wedding cakse can be pretty obscene from what I've heard.

Yeah well, thats about all I have to say for awhile. If there are any Mexicans reading this please correct me if I'm wrong about anything and tell me why you shove people's head into cakes.
