Having people around who can relate to how this place tortures you almost makes you think you can survive in this mess…" Ditto to that! But not only that, it's like every day is a freakin challenge and by golly gosh, you are not going to lose the challenge! It's like a game almost....that you have to win! I don't think you can win....but certainly, if you keep telling yourself that, anything is possible. “And somehow that is almost enough.

I don’t think you can win….but certainly, if you keep telling yourself that, anything is possible.

But mostly I just need to complain I think. This place gets to me sometimes, not that I think I'd be happier in the US, I would just complain about different shit. But please tell me how can we have hillbillies when we ain't got no hills here? Yes I miss you SILLY! But mostly I just need to complain I think.

But please tell me how can we have hillbillies when we ain’t got no hills here?

Oh, YES, living in the land of the free and the home of the arrogant is FAN-FLIPPING-TASTIC. Today, por ejemplo, I stood in the center of no less than 45 rude, impatient, in-my-personal-space Americans while waiting for my sushi (sin queso, por supuesto), and then on my way out, past the garbage nobody picks up, and the cars parked like sardines, I nearly got in a wreck. Every day that it doesn't rain, it is freezing cold. The internet goes out all the time, customer service (in my own language, mind you) is NIL, ZERO, ZILCH, and if you prefer to live in the land of sheep, then have I got a country for you! Cancun is not so bad away from the zh, it's no worse than downtown Portland, Seattle, LA, Denver... at least in Cancun the hillbillies aren't arrogant. And all this complaining from you is just because you MISS me! HA HA HA. Oh, YES, living in the land of the free and the home of the arrogant is FAN-FLIPPING-TASTIC.
