Cross Cultural

I was chatting today with a young Canadian woman who has been living with a Mexican man. I asked her about the challenges of different cultures. She said there are similarities, and differences. For example, Mexican men need their mothers. They want their girlfriends, or wives, to perform all the tasks that their mothers did for them, such as cleaning, laundry, cooking etc. If the wife doesn't do these things, the man will literally go home to his mother. However, this woman said when the differences between them become too great, she goes home to her mother, who also lives here. That is the similarity.

I had a request for a picture of me, here, so I figured out the self-timer on my camera, and here I am- in Mexco! I took the picture on the rooftop this evening. The other picture is the table in my room, where I write this blog.

The party I went to last night was fun. It was early, 7-9, and very laid back and relaxed. I met some new people and even had a ride home on a motorcycle!
