What a tourist doesn't notice

• even a couple have been together 20 years, they still act like just married

• wearing 10 cm high heels and still rocking on the dance floor (when my mom in Finland can’t even walk with anything which have more than 2 cm heel)

• always parents’ permission

• ahorita= either 10 mins or 3 hours

• almost every house or neighborhood is surrounded by a gate

• windows have bars on them

• “let’s go” –where? when? “now”

• there are hot Mexican guys, everywhere, all the time

• and they can dance, in public too

• many guys are willing to tell honestly about their lovelife or lack of it to everybody

• the cheapest way to prevent getting your house robbed, is to put broken glasses on top of your wall

• there is always someone packing your groceries or doing the gas for you

• waiter is the waiter, it’s their job to clean your table or bring you a spoon, not yours

• ‘you are like my best friend but it’s totally okay not to always answers to your texts’

• ‘but when I am with you, I always check my phone whenever I get notification, even when I am driving a car’ 

• canceling planes is not an exception, it's a rule

• teachers don’t always want to come to the classes but they expect students to do 3 power point presentations and do 50 exercise of math, in a day

• ‘but I am still too lazy to check your exams myself, you do it’'

• Someone of my neighbors have a dog, I don’t have no idea whose dog is it, it sits on the street everyday

• food is not a food if you are not eating it with your hands, even it would be a cake

• there is no food you can’t share with a friend or friend of a friend

• if you don’t look Mexican you are from U.S. 

• or maybe from Germany and anything in Europe is near Germany

• Channing Tatum or anyone famous actor from U.S. is unknown in here

• a love-hate relationship with United States, mostly hate

• “Europeans don’t go to the shower that often…”

• going shower every morning, even it would mean waking up 4.30 a.m.

• and washing hair everyday (I don't get bad looks anymore when I tell that I was my hair everyday, yay)

• leaving the house even your hair are still wet

• “if it fits, I’ll go”-attitude in traffic

• “Father have the final word” (behind every father there’s a mother)

• if you want to say no to an invitation or someone is selling something that you don’t need, just say sí or gracias, and they won’t bother you again
