Isn't great when two people who love each other finally can live together? Two good friends of mine in Mexico just decided to move and move in with each other and it just makes me happy for them. They deserve it and I hope the job issue will work out.
Isn't it a bit strange how different people can perceive others? The perseption of Mexico and Mexicans is different for me as a Swede than it is for the Mexico experienced me. For the latter one, Mexico is a country with real people, some having quite normal lives, dealing with every day life, fighting, loving etc. For the first one, it is a country from which so many flee from because they are poor and don't see a future in their own country. People who die trying crossing the border or people passing the border over and over before they get kicked out again. Or, Mexico is a place the bad guys flee to to escape getting caught.
This is because media doesn't give us anything else here.
