Some Things We´ve Learned in Mexico So Far...

1. Garlic tablets don´t stop or slow mosquitos from biting you, deet and mosquito nets do.
2. That Mystery Green sauce is NOT Guacamole, its spicey to fuck!
3. Mexico City is not the den of thieves its made out to be, they really like their streets clean and their metro cheap.
4. Football is a big deal.
5. No one speaks English, we don´t speak Spanish. (I like to try to learn a phrase a day).
6. Deet is God´s gift to man.
7. Metro doors stay open for total of 3 seconds. If you miss them, you must wait.
8. Traffic lights are guidelines, lanes are optional. (This optional also applies to one way streets, just because its supposed to be a one way street, your bus driver may feel its a quicker route and go down it the wrong way.)
9. Best way to find the local bus stop, look for the mass of people waiting. Best way to find which direction you´re looking for, have a strict policy of asking every bus driver if he´s going your way.
10. Mexico only opens after 11am.

Monte Alban, Very Cool.
