It's...Everything you wrote about is sooo true! It's just the way of life here.<br /><br />When I first moved to Mexico, I thought it was wonderful to have all this freedom. I especially loved being able to cross the street in the middle of the street. Such a no, no back in the States.<br /><br />But then I realized that we have all those laws in the States for our own good.<br /><br />One of the "habits" people have in Vallarta is to sit in the back of pick up trucks on plastic chairs. And what just drives me crazy, is if they bounce out of the truck and you run them over, you're held responsible!<br /><br />HELLOOO?!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504491345989899525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596151809981949391.post-25793209219969489732011-02-19T20:29:59.142-08:002011-02-19T20:29:59.142-08:00Ugh, not looking forward to any of that when I pac...Ugh, not looking forward to any of that when I pack up and move to Mexico.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596151809981949391.post-6601924956098319222011-02-19T19:35:46.555-08:002011-02-19T19:35:46.555-08:00Definetly agree with all three.

I had just cleaned the room the evening before. It looked like the room had not been cleaned all wk.<br />I think the driving is worse though, I feel so scared for those little kids that get squished on the motorcycles, especially the tiny little babies. And the drinking wow! There was one car that sat in front of our house for about an hour at 3am just singing along to his radio totally drunk, its not like you have the greatest windows either and it was so loud you could feel the walls and windows shaking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01877484236937076790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596151809981949391.post-86093717078732071912011-02-19T18:13:25.854-08:002011-02-19T18:13:25.854-08:00Girl, I know exactly what your talking about.

But there are days that it drives me absolutely crazy. <br /><br />Ugh, the dust! Hate it! I have to dust my TV, tv table, computer, desk, and dressers 3 or 4 times a day! If I don't, it looks like I haven't dusted in days. :P <br /><br />The driving is insane. I don't know what's worse, the scooters that insist on passing on the right side instead of the left, the lack of use of turn signals or let's see how many people & children we can fit on a motorcycle. <br /><br />And the drinking while driving baffles me to no end. In September, which is when our Fiestas are celebrated, drinking and driving is actually encouraged, because there's "tolerance". (The local governments word!)
