Cuando en México

So...Mexico is interesting. I will say that it does put into perspective our "hustlers". Hustlers here are commonly drug dealers. Hustlers in Mexico are (everyone) the real thing. People doing whatever to make some money. Children juggling at the border,Women with babies strapped to them bumming money, people selling: food, leopard skin blankets, crosses, Aztec carvings, Dodger blankets, gum, puppies...I think you get the point. Basically these people were hustling whatever it was in order to get your money. The vendors, also, were excellent hustlers. My host said, "Find what you want and decide how much you want to pay for it." Like that. Sob stories, guarantees, jacked up prices. The good thing is you can work the prices down. Just remember it's Mexico and 25 pesos is $2.50 - The price is negotiable. I will admit that I am not the best price negotiator. I'm good at working out services. My comfort comes in knowing that I still got what I have for less than what they initially asked and less than it would have been in the states (In the states - sounds like I actually travel the world or something!!!). I picked up among other things a dope belt buckle (I never mentioned the buckle fetish did I) and silver bracelet with the aAztec calender on it. In summary...Mexicans know how to hustle. They also have a thing for dudes with lock. I heard rastaboy and Bob Marley so much I'm starting to think that's my name.
