Oscar seems to like all the women of Mexico. We met Carolina, a very cute and sweet 17 year old, here in vacation with her older sister and her niece Anjelica, a very determined 2 year old. But Oscar loves Carolina and he glued himself to her all day at the pool. I made sure that Carolina was not annoyed by him but she kept saying that it was ok. She seems to like children, and she is taking good care of her niece.
Carolina wants to study medicine but, this year, she is going to go to Canada for 6 months to learn English. Jorge’ cousin also went to Canada to learn English, so I asked her if it was a coincidence, but it’s something else. In the States, people look down on Mexicans, not in Canada. Keep him mind that these two people are the White Mexican and they do not fit at all the physical stereotype.
The amazing thing it is that she is clearly from a right wing family and she considered the leader of opposition party to be as communist as Castro, but still she does not like Bush.
I clearly have to understand more about this country’s political and social make up.
We receive the lease from our new landlord: 18 pages long! Much more than the 4 we had in the lease we create to rent our own house. Oh well… all that redundancy in official documents really reminds me of Italy. Same love for important words, the abundance of sections and subsections, etc…
At least Alain will now stop asking me all the time to call Raul. This is how it works in Mexico: if someone tells you something is going to happen tomorrow (like an email), that means it is going to take a few days. Once you know that, there is no need to panic.
