Hi! I think I'm a little late on this conversation... but well, I've just discovered it. It's a bit funny to see your comments about Mexico. Yeah, it's true... there is plenty of people here who's poor (sadly), but there is also a lot of people who live as well as Europeans or Americans. I believe that the minimum wage here is about 130usd a month... most of the people earn more than the minimum wage. I live in Mexico City, an incredibly huge city with lots of contrasts. You can find streets with great (and expensive) stores such as Cartier, Louis Vuitton, or Salvatore Ferragamo.... and you can also find awful (and dangerous) streets... but I can say that I remember similar streets in Paris and NY. I can also say that we have a really big country (well... the US is REALLY big but we are not small), therefore the differences between all the regions are impressive. I guess that you, mmadlyinlove, went to the north (just by the boarder) that's a weird (and very poor) region even for us because it's an area where the Mexican and American cultures are mixed. Mexican food is the best food on Earth!! (I'm serious) I'd love you all to come here so I could invite you some tacos, mole, enchiladas, chilaquiles, pozole, horchata and... FLAN!! And... why not? To taste some Mexican chocolate (it's a formal invitation...  ) Well, sorry if I wrote too much... And, tabbytha... I agree with you, GODIVA rocks! Isabel |

I did, but I also hear a lot from my dad, who lived in Mexico for the first twelve years of his life before he came to America with his mom and seven brothers and sisters. Yeah, I've only been in Northern Mexico...
MEXICAN FOOD ROX! IT ROX MY TOE SOX! Haha. ~mmadlyinlove~

hey, I'll visit you ismaco!  I wish I could, that would be awesome. And yes, Godiva is amazing. Some friends of mine gave me a bag of chocolates with ginger from Godiva for graduation. They were...yummy. That's all I can say, there really are no other words. |

You're absolutely right mmadlyinlove... I'm not trying to deny that Mexico is a poor and hard-to-live country... I was just trying to share with you that Mexico is not only what you can see in the movies or near the boarder.... and we Mexicans are not only the ones that cross ilegally the boarder Childminerva (and all of you), yay!! Come to Mexico!! Really! I'd love you to visit me! (and discuss ADMM for hours haha) Isabel |

Haha. Mexico is cool. The only reason why I don't go anymore is... well, one, I don't have anyone to go with, and two because I have asthma so the air down there is not the best for my condition. Le Sigh.... ~mmadlyinlove~

Am I alone and no-one has ever heard about Milka? :mrgreen:
Well, maybe it's only European...
Lindt is also good, but rather expensive. And it isn't available in every supermarket ;D
You were talking about Mexico? God, how great! We have our Patron's day on Monday and each class is showing something about chosen country (don't ask how is it linked with our Patron, I've no idea :roll:). We wanted to pick up Spain (well, studying Spanish is maybe a good reason, isn't it?), but we've chosen Mexico at last.
What the hell can we show from kitchen? Something easy to cook? :mrgreen:

I don't care what brand it is as long is it is chocolate! Although I do generally just buy Nestle or Hershey's because it's cheapest and most conveinent.
