As the ambassador for Tiki in Mexico, here I promise to promote and protect all things tiki (and other cool things in general) south of your border. Feel free to ask me your doubt about the country where I was born and current home.
Also, if you want to have an "amigo" please let me know, I think friends are a treasure.
Trades, business propositions, love advice, There's nothing I will not try to fix. If you are interested in selling your art in Mexico. Have an exhibit or sleep in my couch (restrictions may apply)
Thank you.
P.S. My birthday is on October 15

Zeta, I can understand where you are coming from. When I first came to the United States, I didn't speak a word of English!

Thank you Ambassador Zeta!
I have a few questions...
What area in Spain is the most Tiki?
What area in Mexico is the most Tiki?
Are there a lot of GAP stores in Mexico? Spain?
What's the annual numbers of heads lopped off in Mexico
as compared to Spain?
Why is Mexico's immigration Policy stricter than our own
and why do they demand America's loosening of our policies?
Thanks for the help!

MadDogMike, thanks for your comments.
I think that when you travel, it is basic to get the "inside scoop" from a local. I really love my City and the place called Mexico. So, I will do anything I can to help others enjoy and understand it. Also, I want to fight back all the bad press on Mexico lately. (some deserved, some not) This is my small effort to dissipate unfounded fears and prejudices against Mexico and it's people. I H-A-T-E FAKE PATRIOTISM. But I LOVE good people and culture, and there's so much of that in Mexico that I feel I need to let anyone interested know that.
little lost tiki,
What area in Spain is the most Tiki?
Tribunal area in Madrid
What area in Mexico is the most Tiki?
Zona Rosa in Mexico D.F.
Are there a lot of GAP stores in Mexico? Spain?
Surprisingly not that many... we have our own ever present clothing emporium called Zara (they recently became the most powerful clothing brand in the world, making the GAP #2)
What's the annual numbers of heads lopped off in Mexico
as compared to Spain?
I don't know. Not many decapitations in Spain. But I do know that there would be a lot less heads lopped off if the U.S.A. didn't snort so much cocaine.
Why is Mexico's immigration Policy stricter than our own
and why do they demand America's loosening of our policies?
I don't know if this is a fact. I heard of it, but I don't know. I do know most of the people crossing to Mexico want to go all the way up to the U.S.
Also, hypocrisy and stupidity. But hey! Two wrongs don't make one good! I wish there where more opportunities in Mexico (too many transnationals and crooked politicians) so that people wouldn't have to leave in the first place, but I don't thing they deserve humiliation, death or both, after creating wealth and working hard to make a living... it is complex and I am not capable of giving a better answer.
P.S. I don't think the U.S. is the big devil or anything like it. The point of this thread is to approach not to separate. AND it was never meant for discussing politics (which I hate) but I said I would try to help with anything I can, so there.
I hope this helped, please come back soon.

Zeta, are you a native Spaniard who lives in Mexico, or are you a Mexican who used to live in Spain?
Do you report directly to Alfred E Newman? If so, what's he really like?
Who has the best sense of humor: U.S. Americans, Mexicans, or Europeans?
You post some great stuff which I know goes unacknowledged. I mirror Grog's attitude on this, I like to avoid one sentence back-slapping replies (over and over to the same person).
Multiply this by several hundred:
"Great post Zeta !! That was: a) Informative b) Funny and/or c) Bizarre (but entertaining)"

Deported to Bilge... Why!?!?!
This thread is dead. I refuse to answer after being bilged. I was being serious about this thread. What is going on?! Who bilged me? Not a friendly response. Not cool. I would like an explanation.
Thank you people who posted above.

Sí! Porqué se encuentra esto in Bilge? Pensé que fué para discutir lo de tiki en las Américas (México en particular) y en España. Debe estar in General yo creo.
