Necessity is the mother of invention.

When I was a child my parents gave me a little money for school ($2.50) every day. Of course It was not enough, because like any kid I wanted candies and junk food, so I started a “business “ in class.

I had started to “give money with interest”, so I lent money and in exchange I charged .50 cents for each day that elapsed. With this money I could buy candies and junk food like sabritas, and the sabritas had “tazos” and  all the kids wanted me to share my snacks, so later I was selling them, and I was very happy because  when the school was finally over, I was running to eat my food cravings, which honestly there were completely prohibited to me, so I truly believe that necessity is the mother of invention

       

         “YOU CANNOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER”

One day, when I was still working, I met a girl who seemed extremely smug, and had a puffed up sense of her own importance, her posture…

As the days passed, having talked to her, I had to admit that she was without a doubt sympathetic, people person and honestly trustworthy.  When we had already started to be friends I told her my frightful first impression of her, she told me that now many people appreciate her, even when they had said the same thing to her.

Since then, we have been best friends.

Paella - Cuisine Culture.

Are you bored of eating the same every day? Well, I have a solution (or a suggestion, an idea, a proposal) that you will enjoy, like, love, cherish, relish, etc.). I recommend a dish that is extremely delicious and if you try it, you could not stop eating it and you know what? It is totally healthy. So now I am going to introduce the dish that you need to try. Its name is Paella. Have you heard the name? Paella is made using salmorreta, which is also used in dishes such as “arroz a banda” or” arroz del señorret” and is a sauce made of garlic, tomato, ñora (a hot dried pepper)  and parsley. Then, in addition to the rice, it is made with chicken, rabbit, pepper, garlic, saffron and occasionally chickpeas. It is a cooking recipe based on rice.

So ... Do you want to try paella? you will not regret it!, the best part of eating paella is the completely (inexpensive, reasonable) cost of the ingredients compared to other more expensive dishes. I tried paella one year ago and the funny thing is that I do not like the sea food, but paella is different because you won’t  taste the “sea flavor” like in other sea-food dishes.

You need travel to Mexico City!

 

If you want to meet a city with a lot of places to visit, I recommend Mexico City. Mexico City has several museums very fascinating interactive, like "Papalote museo del niño". You can also learn about history in "Museo de la memoria y tolerancia" or have a good time in "Museo Ripley". To people who love ride attractions, there is  Six flags,  it is very fun and you can buy souvenirs for your friends. To people who like woods you can go to "Bosque de Chapultepec", where there is  a lake, with ducks, there are squirrels running around and there is an absolutely incredible castle. Also there are several restaurants to eat tasty food and if you want listen to mariachi´s music, you can go to Garibaldi. Other things that you have to try are the tacos, cobs, gorditas, pambazos, huaraches, quesadillas and other dishes that are totally delicious.

Deep into earth

I live in Merida, Yucatán and here it's very usual to find “Cenotes' ' They are natural holes of water. In some of them, you can swim ,but others are really dangerous. At first, diving into a “Cenote '' It could look extremely dangerous or it could be scary but if you try, I´m really sure you´re going to enjoy it. In Merida there are around 2,000 cenotes and you cannot miss them to visit at least one of them. When I visited a Cenote for the first time, I was really impressed because it´s A NATURAL WHOLE and I couldn’t believe that it was really safe. After some explanations from my tourist guide. Finally, I decided to swim and I swear that It was absolutely enjoyable. Does anyone know about other activities that I could try? I'm desperate to experiment with new adventures!

How to feel like a kid again?

 I’m not the type of person who likes strong experiences, I always try to escape from them, but sometimes they are necessary to feel alive. One day when I was in the adventure park, I was walking and watching  all the amazing things they offered, all over the place, but I was wondering if I would take the risk to enjoy the big roller coaster. My brother and my cousin wanted to go with coster stuff and they tried to convince me to take the ride with them, and I agreed. While we were in the line I was completely frightened. Once on the ride I experienced anxiety and at the same a joyful feeling of freedom and to be honest, it was the most incredible animation and setting I have ever enjoyed. Now it is  an experience that I definitely  recommend because it helps to release all the toxic energy  and forget all about your problems to take pleasure in the present moment. Riding  on the roller coaster will make you feel like a child again.
