I'll be updating this blog again with my thoughts about anything in Mexico from economy to sports to simple particularities and eccentricities of the people. To kick things off, I'll start with a quick perception about food vendors on the street.
It's hard to find a better lunch deal than tacos for 3 pesos(25 cents) or sopes for 6 pesos and, for me, finding a cheap and hearty meal is akin to Warren Buffett finding his next million dollar investment.
But here's the interesting part. Every taco vendor I've encountered has been a guy while every sope vendor was a woman. I can't see any inherent reason for this other than it being cultural. Tacos and sopes are not that different. Nevertheless, it's an incredibly stark contrast.
I'll post more if I gain any insight into this.
