Mexico-Party in Villa was una buena fiesta

Mexico-party
Thursday in Mexico-Party plays Mexican
!Para arriba!
!Para abajo!
!Para el centro!
!Para adentro!

="kippis", "cheers" as the Mexicans say it.
OK. Take a glass. Pour something to drink into it. Take the glass in your hand.
And together, first glass down, then up, then raise it to the centre of the table, then oh, ...perkele!
Drink it.

?Pero cómo fue la fiesta de México ayer?
The Mexican-Party?

Music under the huge sombreros,
with fine singing
Mexican night
moonlight
talking, lot of talking
Spain, English, Finnish, ...
Coronabeer with green lime
vinos tinto, white wine, white outside snow

And these Mexicans. What kind of people are they? Just a few things.

If you want to invite a Mexican to your party...
-Are you coming to my party?
-No! No tengo tiempo, tengo que trabajar...
-Are you coming to my party?
-Oh, no. Ahora no...
-Are you coming to my party?
-SÍ, YES, CLARO QUE SÍ! ... ask three times. He or she wants to come, but can`t say it when you ask for the first time or even for the second time.
And why? It is just the Mexican way.

Talking, they love it! If nobody talks they start talking and going on about anything.
Subject is not important, but the talking.

The Mexican table?
Sillas, sillas con
mucha gente
everyone must be
around the table
y poco que comer
y beber
Koskenkorva vodka
no!?

?Mexicanas? !Las queiro!
