The reality of life in Mexico, Part II

The reality of life in Mexico, Part II Due to the flood of e-mail responses that I have done? The reality of life in Mexico?, I decided to write a part two. Hard as I try not to let bother me, negative comments from readers are still with me. It is not? T, because I can not stand when someone disagrees with me. It is, as a writer, I would also like to write. I want my points. I do not want the reader to miss the point. I take responsibility if this happens.I should clearer.Anyway, I have all kinds of comments. Even my naysayers not discourteous. A lady from San Miguel de Allende does not agree with me in an unusually civil manner, for which I am grateful. Recently, an American woman in New York (which explains a lot, actually) Guanajuato threatened to come and slap me for what I said in our book? The plane truth about life in Mexico. I imagine you can? T win. Thus, in 'interest of faiess, and an attempt to more clearly, let me explain what I said in my previous article. I tried to communicate? My? Observations of what appears to be endemic to Mexican culture, particularly for medium Mexico.I guess if Mexicans from other parts of this beautiful country tell me that Mexico is different from a writer, I would like to know how, why, when, where, and how do I report it.In Christmas 2004, we went to Puerto Vallarta for 15 days. During this time, we spent the better part of the day on the street interviews clerks, staff, waiters, and restaurant manager. What we found was surprising that most with whom we spoke had never been at the heart of Mexico. Not? T that surprising? And the whole atmosphere of Puerto Vallarta was radically different from what one experiences in Guanajuato.We Did not find people to be pushed from pavements. We do not hear of pregnant women suffer as a result of accidents that have taken on a bus. We have not heard the gringo refused service in restaurants (which happens a friend of Attoey here in Guanajuato). The city and its inhabitants were massively gringo friendly. And why you should? T? Their economic survival depends on tourism, especially from the United States and Canada.Guanajuato? S not.Guanajuato survival has always been a Mexican tourist place. By far the majority of tourism is not of Mexican and gringo. The reason I know this is because I was asked and a table showing the relationship of a Mexican gringo tourists. Let me offer this for you, but I can not the data, since we are in our new apartment. So when I say that Guanajuato Gringo is not easy, does not mean that in a pejorative sense. I think the gringos have a really hard time here.Some get negative comments from our books (at Amazon.com), because some people think my number? Mexico is not America ", is stupid, pointless. The lady from New York, told me that she wants to slap me for this waste of space in which book.The issue is that the Americans and Canadians come here not realizing that all? Mexico is not America. In fact, they expect to come here, English is widespread. If you find that it is not true, they are honest, who behave like spoiled children. They believe that all of Mexico as the place where English is widely used by the service sector. A magazine for which I recently an article in a sidebar, it tells potential buyers of American property in Mexico this? English is widely spoken in Mexico? An absolute lie! By far the majority of American tourists on the streets of Guanajuato, because they come from a long line of burros and monkeys do this, because it requires that the people of Guanajuato, to speak English, the Americans U. S. Dollar on their credit cards American, and the list pulls on.In writing books, I? I tried that myself in the situation of American expatriates who want to go. I would like to emphasize what they freak out. But, unfortunately, the reader? Reviews of books that have lost the point. I feel responsible for that.I that reason is that Americans abroad in Mexico, or want to believe that all of Mexico is like the American enclave, whose motto is? We Gringo Friendly. This is the essence of San Miguel de Allende? We Gringo Friendly. And why not? The Americans are now in possession of the city. Bought it.More and more Americans are flocking in Guanjuato at the speed of light. I was told so many come to the property market can not be obtained. What happens here is what happens in San Miguel de Allende forty years ago.The U.S. is on the design of Guanajuato in their own image. It gringo friendly to the victims of his only culture.The money to buy it. OUR NEW BOOKGuanajuato, M? Xico - New book offers tips for survival in the land of FrogsGuanajuato, M? Xico?
