I'm just so glad your so quick to assume my views in the first place, as if I had walked around Cadiz, Sevilla and Monterrey oblivious to the injustice. What I love about the culture and its people is how quick they are to drop instances of the past, social status, etc etc to thuroughly enjoy themselves. Hence the many, many festivals, fiestas, populated in their calendars, which to me as an American may be deemed the ever occuring stereotype as "lazy." I'm an optimist. And the people, whether poor or middle class that I had encountered were as well, despite their condition, which was what truly "expanded my views". That's what I've taken from my experiences. A thriving love of life that shines no matter circumstance. I could learn alot, your right. I still have alot to learn. But don't go assuming that I lack knowledge as to the condition. I've volunteered at a Guadalupe Center here for all those who who are basically helpless in terms of English and job skill. My experiences aren't solely "Hollywood" Here's a book I'm going to start:
My appreciation runs deeper than no, not your 5 years. But at least I've caught glimpses in my travels, classes and volunteering that I can say have changed my life. |

You guys don't even know what it's all about. Beaches, cheap drugs, a bit of craziness on the streets, and a hell of a lot of girls with fine fine asses.
Applications to come with me this Christmas are currently being reviewed :wtf: |

Well I've traveled extensively in the US Southwest, so I'll weigh in a bit.
I would recommend a place where you are not too much of a minority to the point of being a novelty.
The worst thing, in addition to possible racism, will be that you can't get quality Mexican food. Hehe.
Arizona, I wouldn’t recommend - except for Tucson and Flagstaff, which are cool.
Denver is kinda a hole, but has its good points. Colorado Springs is more conservative, but it’s a nicer town overall than Denver.
Cali is cool, but way expensive.
Austin is worth a consideration too. |
