Life in these United States

I took this photo in a mall in the States. One of the main things my friend and I agreed on about the States is that it is COMFORTABLE.  We spent a lot of time wandering around in the beautiful malls. I came upon this young man enjoying a time out from the stress of shopping.

I appreciated being able to flush toilet paper down the toilet and being able to drink water from the tap. I liked it that I could understand what people around me were saying. Everything was so clean and everything worked.  People do what they say, when they say they will do it. There is a lot of discomfort that comes with living in Mexico. One must have patience and learn to wait and make do. But I think it is worth all the discomfort.

  1. Comfortable. Like toilets that aren't missing toilet seats! :-)
    Glad you enjoyed your trip, but it's always nice to be home, wherever that is.

  2. Why don't they have toilet seats? What is it in the culture that makes them think that they can tell one thing a do something completly different?

    1. Thanks for commenting. A lot of public toilets don't have seats because people steal them. And why do they say one thing and do something different? I have no idea. Maybe because they don't like to disappoint people so they say what you want to hear but have no intention of doing it. This is a different culture. p

  3. Glad you enjoyed your trip and are back safe and sound! Sorry Chico is uncomfortable, as I saw in a previous post.
    :( Your other comment about the cat sleeping on your head made me laugh. Take care.

    1. Hi Karen, Thanks for writing. I took Fiesta with me and had planned on taking his photo at various places but never got around to doing it. Sorry. Maybe I will get the energy and creativity to take some back down here. p
