Welcome to the Online Friend Simulator. Because everyone could use a friend, even online. I’m Francis aka The Other Guy.
How are you doing? I hope you’re doing well. It’s been a very busy last few weeks, and I’ve just recently returned from a vacation. So this time around it’s a travel episode, where I talk about my time in Mexico City, Mexico. If there’s any advice I can give, it’s that you take time to acclimate to the altitude. I didn’t do that. That was a mistake. Take time to get used to the thinner air, and drink a ton of water and you too, can avoid getting ill.
As always, any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for listening. Please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or anywhere you listen to podcasts.

This recording has a feedback noise. Perhaps it’s just my phone?
SDCCI was suppose to have its first full day today. Not this year, for a second year in a row. Maybe around Thanksgiving? We shall see. 🤞

Avatar The Last Airbender has a new official podcast. A terrestrial broadcaster and Army veteran has moved away from regular broadcasting to subscription podcasting.
There is so much brand new, original, content being made, that if one listens/consumes only new content (audio visual, audio only, written) one would be able to only consume this new content and never have to listen to older content ever again.
Apologies for this late listen.
Imagine in the past how difficult it was to maintain a long distant relationship before audio communication was free and frequent. When long distant phone calls cost as much as an hour of earned wage, and an international phone call could cost as much as many of those hours of earned wage. And even before that when communications was only snail mail which moved at the pace of a merchant ship, when conversations could stretch on for months between continuing.
We are fortunate in that way.
Why do Filipinos look Mexican, or vice versa, especially around Aculpoco? Please tell us more. Give us listeners a history lesson.
Mexico City is the heart of the national culture, more so than can be said about a more decentralized culture of the United States. Did you get to visit the American Cemetery?

About food and vehicle maintenance. Have you been to the Northridge car wash with a Filipino point point joint in it?

At one point the economic output of New Spain, with the heart of it being Mexico itself, had a larger output to Spain itself. I was watching a video of the collapse of the Spanish Empire, and it pointed out this often forgotten fact. And due to that the revolution and independence of Mexico was arguably an inevitability.
Have you ever met a descendant of the Californios, Mexicans in California before 1846? Have you ever met a descendant of the Tejanos, Mexicans in Texas before 1836? People forget about how big Mexico was, is, and thus how much diversity in regional sub-cultures Mexico had/has.
This goes along with food too. Tex-Mex is different than the Baja-Mex cuisine, and surely cuisine from different in other parts of Mexico. We have that in the US, like the fight of best burger in America from In-N-Out, Culvers, Shake Shack, Whataburger, and many other places in between.
When you next travel down to Mexico City, there is a way to bypass customs via flying out of Tijuana. Its International Airport has a Terminal on the United States side in the Otay Mesa neighborhood of San Diego, allowing one to pre clear customs and enter Mexico’s domestic travel system.
And if you do, let us know when you are in town, so that way your other friends in San Diego and myself, can spend time with you.
