Things I Have Learned from 24 Hours in La Ciudad de Mexico

Things I Have Learned from 24 Hours in La Ciudad de Mexico:

[in Chronological Order]

1) Never bring more suitcases than you have hands (or in my case--my guitar. Getting from the luggage conveyor to the exit doors took me three times as long as it should have)

2) I am a terrible driver (The streets in Mexico City don't even have lines. How my Grandfather avoided an accident, I will never know)

3) When eating in Mexico, eat as the Mexicans do. Some things aren't intended to be eaten with a fork. There is such a thing as being overly polite.

4) Listen closely when Mexicans tell you their names. It may sound like it just blends into the rest of the palabras, but it is very separate.

5) If you pray in English in front of Mexicans, watch out for the squeal afterwards.

6) Always wear shoes. If you come to scripture study sin sus zapatos, you will be scolded.

7) Hot Dogs are NOT for Breakfast. (I personally don't agree with Hot Dog consumption at anytime, but if you eat one for breakfast, it will come back to bite you)

8) The Spirit speaks in Every Language.

9) Two Mexican Men trying to speak English are more difficult to understand than One speaking Spanish

10) When looking for someone who speak English look above the heads of the rest. The tallest is the most helpful.
