Hace dos a\u00f1os, me mud\u00e9 a M\u00e9xico<\/strong>. (Two years ago, I moved to Mexico). While there was (and still is) lots of talk about building a pared<\/strong> (wall), I prefer building puentes<\/strong> (bridges). It was one of the best decisions I ever made! My friends and family are always wondering “\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 me encanta vivir en M\u00e9xico<\/strong>?” (Why do I love living in Mexico?). Well, I’ll try to answer that question in this post.<\/p>\n

\nWhat I love about Mexico<\/h2>\n

There’s a lot to love about Mexico – la cultura, la comida, la gente, el estilo de vida y mucho m\u00e1s<\/em> (the culture, the food, the people, the lifestyle, and much more).<\/p>\n

I’ll take a closer look at each one of these and share some thoughts about why I love living in Mexico.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

La Cultura<\/h2>\n

Estoy muy interesado en la cultura mexicana<\/em> (I’m very interested in Mexican culture). Ever since I broke into my first\u00a0pi\u00f1ata<\/em> at a birthday party as a young\u00a0ni\u00f1o<\/em>, I’ve been interested in Mexican culture.<\/p>\n

Me gustan las fiestas mexicanas, por ejemplo el D\u00eda de Muertos<\/a> <\/em>(I like Mexican holidays, for example Day of the Dead). I’ve always been fascinated with the Day of the Dead, and it’s not just because I’m an avid Grateful Dead fan!<\/p>\n

I love how Mexico celebrates the dead and the lives they led rather than just mourn them. It’s such a colorful festival, highlighted by the\u00a0ofrendas <\/em>(altars) full of flowers, incense, pictures and more. People put these in their homes and at the graves of loved ones.<\/p>\n

I mean, just look at this desfile<\/em> (parade) from Day of the Dead in Mexico City! How amazing does that look?<\/p>\n
