This is a short one. I have to say I was amused by the fact that the toilet paper I bought at "Billa" the grocery store is called "Clever." That follows along the same line as the bread in Mexico being called "Bimbo." Maybe my Czech toilet paper should get together with the Mexican bread and show him a thing or two.
I wasn't drinking much milk during my years in Mexico, mostly because I always favoured bevies with ice in the hot weather. I bought some "Mleko" the other day and have been enjoying the icy cold quality of my little apt. fridge. Last night I bought a bottle of 7-UP and it was listed on my grocery bill as "limonada." Another interesting discovery! Limonada in Mexico, of course, is the wonderful water with freshly squeezed lime juice. A 7-Up in Vallarta was simply called "Un Seben." These are just interesting things that happen several times a day. How about the irony of the restaurant next to the school being called "Restaurant CORTEZ." They even have some tortilla dish on the menu along with all the meat and potatoes. Their Pilsner is also ridiculously cheap and they have a little outdoor cafe which is fine for a quick lunch or whatever. It's as if Mexico meets the Czech Rep. in some ways, but that's where the similarities end. Have a good weekend!
