For you Sofia: Mexican survival rules for blondes by Rana Rene

- The best food is made by grandmas or on the streets
- Light food is not healthy in Mexico…
- You CAN drink from the tap water… (just maybe not everyday)
- If someone asks you for money and you say no, don’t scare if they yell at you
- Wearing seatbelts in Mexico is a sign of lack of trust towards the driver
- If you ever get stopped by a police officer, 50 pesos (5chf) will be more than enough to keep going
- You can do almost anything or go anywhere with 50 pesos in Mexico
- Being blond in Mexico can be a blessing, but also a curse: Everyone notices you
- Don’t always trust Mexicans, we are easy going…but you are blond….
- You can get mad at guys if they don’t open the door for you
- Guys will always give you free drinks
- Get a mexican football jersey… everyone will give you even more free drinks
- You don’t really need money, you are blond…
- Learn to dance and some traditional mexican songs and you’ll be loved by everyone
- Mexican latin lovers do not exist…they just like to pretend they are…
- Mexican school system is really easy going…the best seats are on the back!!!
- “Ahorita”(= in a second) means later, unless its told in a raised voice tone, in which case it really means “now”
- “Al rato”(= later) means “I don’t know when”; if its said in a raised voice tone it means “never” - 5 pm means 5:30 pm…
- You should always eat something in the street after a party is over…that way no one can smell the alcohol in your breath
- Get yourself a shirt that reads: “No soy gringa”
- Mexican people name everything with cheese as “swiss”
