I'm not sure that visitors and new exat's understand the real meaning of time in Mexico or even the subtleties of communication.
I had a couple of good examples just recently. I bet some of you have also. Please share those.
In my case I received what i thought was an odd notice from the city. They planned to work on several streets and mine was one of them. The secretary of infrastructure would personally supervise. The work would start the next day and it would hopefully be done by August 12. August 12 ? that's almost 4 months So the next day nothing, the following day two guys at the end of the street breaking up sidewalk. Okay I get it august.
The other thing was what I learned and what they actually say. I rent a garage space ( good thing with that construction right?) any way the owner came for the fee and he asked for key money not garage space money. I also have a guy who refers to the pool as the alberca not pescina. Got to stay on your toes Ja ja ( ho ho)
