The Mexican Joya

September 6, 2009 – 5:50 pm

Once I heard Mexico City was a sculpture ready to be admired, a museum free of walls and ridiculously expensive fares. I thought it was a interesting statement but one I didn’t fully understand until later on when I had to come back after having lived far away for a long time.
I must admit [...]

Drug possesion now LEGAL in Mexico

August 22, 2009 – 10:25 pm

This is something to really talk about. It is and always will be a very controversial issue, many support it and approve it, and many do not.

Mexico’s win on the field is an economic win, tambien

August 10, 2009 – 4:26 pm

August 8, 2009 – 12:41 pm
