New shocks about country:
1) In Mexico they don't have centralized pipes with cold and hot water, and gas. They have pump in every house, that get cold water. They have boilers that warm up cold water and they use big reservuars for gas. So they don't have and didn't know that it is possible to have it centralized underground that one company can service.
2) To get driving licence in country with crazy trafik you need only ... 30$ and you get licence. You don't need to pass any exams, go to school and it is official way to get them :| Also here they don't have many signs on the roads, everythings is automatically understandable.
3) They are crazy on taxi. Sometimes we even go home from work or to work from home by taxi, when are lazy to walk. But distance is 20 minutes walking only and taxi cost only 1 USD.
4) Credit cards are useful in few place. It is not very popular way to pay (even you cannot pay for movie in cinema with credit/debit card).
I'm starting to get used to country more and more, understand and talk Spanish more and more and enjoy my time and this country more and more :)

hmm some how its quite similar with the current of some of the city in Indonesia as well... but now here its getting better, seems u have to get used to it with that, so u wont be surprised when u arrived in Indonesia someday :)
cheers,
surprise surprise, you cannot pay in Baltics with a bank car in Cinema as well. Forum Cinemas explanation is that its costly for them + it increases a service time per person... :P
