Touring the USA and other countries it is common for many Mexicans to be asked\u2026<\/p>\n

– Hey! where are you from?<\/p>\n

The Mexican always responds with pride:<\/p>\n

Hi, I’m from Mexico!<\/p>\n

And they almost always answer:<\/p>\n

– Aahh! The land of Chapo Guzm\u00e1n, the narcos, marijuana, corruption, crimes and extortion …<\/p>\n

And one assumes that he or she must be an addict.<\/p>\n

True? And why?<\/p>\n

Because if the guy were an athlete I would have identified myself with Ana Guevara, Hugo Sanchez, Julio Cesar Chavez, Finito L\u00f3pez, El chicharito Hern\u00e1ndez, Canelo Alvarez, Rafael M\u00e1rquez, etc.<\/p>\n

And if the good guy were cultured, I would have wondered about the great cultures like the Mayas, the Aztecs, the Olmecs, the Chichimecas.<\/p>\n

\"\"And if the good guy would had traveled \u2013 I mean culturally, not a bad trip – they would ask me about our archaeological ruins, colonial cities, the great megalopolises or our exuberant beaches, or even about our biodiversity of jungles, beaches, deserts or forests.<\/p>\n

Or maybe I would have identified whith our great painters Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, Frida Khalo, Jos\u00e9 Clemente Orozco, or our composers: Agust\u00edn Lara, Consuelo Vel\u00e1zquez, Armando Manzanero, Juan Gabriel, Jos\u00e9 Alfredo Jim\u00e9nez, or our writers and poets: Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Juan Rulfo, Octavio Paz, Juan Jos\u00e9 Arreola, Elena Poniawtoska, Amado Nervo, Jaime Sabines, or our inventions and authors: Manuel Mondrag\u00f3n, Guillermo Gonz\u00e1lez Camarera, Luis Ernesto Miramontes, our filmmakers: Ismael Rodr\u00edguez, Emilio Fern\u00e1ndez, Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n, Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu, Emmanuel Lubezki and even Luis Bu\u00f1uel in his Spanish version adopted the Mexican nationality.<\/p>\n

And if the good and lucky guy was a gourmet I would have asked about the Tamales, the Cochinita Pibil, the Mole, the Adobo, the chilaquiles, the Chiles en nogada, the Guacamole, the Pan de Muerto, etc. For our drinks: pulque, tequila, mezcal, wines and beers.<\/p>\n

However, I see that you only know about the provider of your addiction!<\/p>\n

I just want to put on the discussion on the table, that Mexico is much more than what people believe.<\/p>\n

That there are many honest Mexicans out there, that even if you do not know us, we will open the doors of our home to you and you will love to know us and visit us, because Mexico is simply much more wonderful than I can tell you !!<\/p>\n
