Translation for 140 languages by ALS
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowline.
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail.
Explore. Dream. Discover

Rotten Fresas jam (Puerto Vallarta)

Last night a car accident happened outside of my apartment. It made a frightful gash in the wee hour tranquility and I feared the worst for those involved---until they turned out to be spoiled Mexican assholes aka "fresas".

The fresas, driving drunk and too important to bother with any oncoming traffic, smashed pass the front side of a taxi cab---whose charge was promptly transferred to another taxi and, doubtless, shaken up---bringing the fancy black 4x4 to rest beneath my window. From there the fiesta ensued: laughing, singing loudly, and more drinking. They were terribly loud at three in the morning yet I was the only one to ask them to quiet down---provoking just the opposite.


Mexico is not America anymore than is Guatemala

Those fat, drunken natives and their equally chunky, subservient girlfriends made even more noise, hurling dormant racist attitudes like "Go back to Africa"---Mexicans think all black people come from Africa or Jamaica---"f--- nigger" and, of course, "This is Mexico!" Indeed. Which is why no one outside of Mexico ever mistakes or associates the country with America or Canada.
The police arrived but did not arrest them as that would have constituted work and pigs only like to pick on people who they think are too poor to defend themselves.

Mexico is not America anymore than is Guatemala. It is still Third World (like Guatemala) and will remain so with its charmingly characteristic machismo, ignorance, servility, traditions intact.
