Some things I've learnt about Mexico (Mexico City)

Coke is the national drink.

If you want to turn your car left, get in the right hand lane.

Car indicators are an attractive decoration and not for indicating.

Chili con Carne does not exist here.

Ana Barbara is a singer, and not a cartoon maker.

A definite yes, is actually a definite maybe.

Don't talk to resolve an argument with your girlfriend, turn up drunk at 2am with Mariachis instead, while shouting occasional words from the songs, as my charming neighbour keeps doing. Then get arrested for disturbing the peace while 10 musicians bang on the police car window demanding to be paid. How romantic.

Arroz does not always mean rice, nor fresa strawberry.

Brozo the clown has never worked in a circus.

Let's hear some more folks :)
