I loved this post!
Very cute and very prepared little girl!
what is it like living in Mexico? Honestly. It's so beautiful and I have only visited a handful of times.
But you hear some of the scary stories and wonder if it's really scary to locals or just outsiders?

Thanks Claudia and Lisa Marie :)
Hi Brandi!
I get this question all the time and it's kinda difficult to answer because Mexico is very different from the US yet it's also not what you see on TV.
I may not be the best person to answer this question because I have a love-hate relationship with my country. I don't listen to music in Spanish, I don't watch Mexican TV nor the News.
I have traveled around a big part of Mexico but I've lived most of my life in Tijuana, so I can pretty much say how life is in Tijuana and Ensenada(which is 2 hours away from TJ and it's where I'm currently living.)
We have amazing and beautiful cities and places, and we have pretty awful ones...I guess a lot of countries are like that.
I watch American TV and news so I know what kind of scary things you guys know about Mexico...and it's not like that. I mean is not like a horror movie, it is safe to walk around and talk to people and do all the normal stuff.
The statistics say Mexico is a very poor country, there are communities that lack of basic utilities, food, services, etc. But what I have seen and lived is not that part of Mexico, I see “middle class” and rude people, but I also see a lot of educated, polite and super kind people.
We do pay almost double the price you pay in the States, for phone, cell, internet, cable and all those things, and "we" earn much much less money than Americans do.
The drug cartels and security issues are something I hear people talk about on TV, but is not something I have witnessed nor have heard it from friends or peers.
The big problem I think we have here is not the security or drug cartels, but the fact that our government makes it look "cool" if somebody is uneducated, can't speak proper Spanish, and is unemployed. It sounds hard to believe, but it's true.
A lot of institutions give scholarships and help students to finish their degrees and a lot of Universities offer BAs for free or for a super low fee, yet the government keeps making TV shows and radio programs saying "if you are poor, ask for money, you will stay poor and that will not change, even if you try to study"
...phff this is a super long comment XD and I'm not even explaining all the things I could haha...hope that kinda answers the question, maybe some of
these days I'll blog about the life in Mexico.

I was born in Tijuana and I do totally understand what you are trying to say! But then again It's only Mexican-me :/
