You know you're in Mexico when...
--OXXO is not hugs & kisses - it's a convenience store on every other corner.
--everyone decorates with red & green in September - Mexico's independence month
--you go to a restaurant between 12-1pm and you're about the only one there - lunch is between 2-4
--you don't get out of church until about 2pm - Sunday school starts at 10:30, church "starts" at 11:30- usually maybe 11:45 - 1:30, then after talking after the service, you don't get out until 2!
--you walk out your door and see a man driving a donkey & cart down the road in a residential area of the city!
--you can buy basically anything at the little corner store 3 houses away - homemade fresh tortillas, homemade refried beans, cheese, potatoes, rice, one stick of margarine, one bandaid, a few eggs, even lowfat lactose-free milk!
--you hear a vehicle coming down your street playing a cheery little tune - it's NOT an icecream truck; it's the propane truck selling gas tanks!
--there are 40+ tribal groups that have not heard the gospel in their language!

It's funny how different another culture can be. Then I think, wait. A lot of that sounds just like the U.S. at one point in history. Not the singing propane truck, though. That's just funny to me.
