down, down, down...
On the plane, it occurs to me that this is my first time below the equator! I feel as though maybe I have missed out my entire life by never venturing south. I am super excited about this new experience, but begin to wonder... Will I be able to tell? Will I feel it in my body? Will my center of gravity feel differently? Will I be as tall?Most importantly, will my carabeener compass work???
(This was by far my dumbest moment.)
manzana con sprite
Joy of all joys, I just ordered my first drink in Spanish!!!"Manzna con Sprite," I say to the flight attendant.
He looks at me funny and repeats, "Manzana con Sprite?"
I nod. He asks if I want ice, but that I totally miss, only nod when he motions to the ice box. Then he asks me to tell him how much manzana to pour, I realize because he is looking at me with eyebrows raised as the juice slooooowly fills the cup. I motion him to stop, he adds the Sprite, and hands over my drink as I proudly declare, "Gracias!"
Internet, yo habla Espanol!
global soda
Those Mexicans sure know a deal when they see one. After watching four seasons of American Idol, the Aeroporte Internacional de Ciudad de Mexico has, from the looks of it, also become sponsored by Coca Cola.Not only do they have a Coke cafe, Coke napkins, and Coke posters, but there is also a MUSEUM in the international departure lounge solely dedicated to showcasing the evolution of the ubiquitous Coke bottle.
the yum that is Inka Cola
Sadly, you can only find this neon-yellow, bubble gum-flavored, carbonated beverage in Peru.You can see the bottle and read about it (in Spanish) here.
