"Guapa, Guapa, Guapa!"
That's what gringas hear from the boys and men here. It's quite flattering lol...despite our directions to ignore the whistles and clicking noises lol. It's not bad, just commonplace for them to give open compliments lol.
Along the same line...my awkwardness and stupid accidental comments continue here...and they are much easier to make in another language lol. Yesterday during salsa we were talking about what to tell the Mexican boys in the street and I idiotically said, "Pasa afuera de mi!" This directly translates to "Stay outside of me." O.M.G. Lets just say that we all laughed for like, 10 minutes about how utterly awkward THAT would be lol. Then in class today I responded to Cathi's story about bananas with pulling out the banana I had brought for a snack and saying, "Tengo una platano grande!" I'm pretty sure you guys can translate that one for yourselves.
Will the mistaken sexual innuendos never end! I'm such a dork! haha
PS....Nate....I love you much much more than any Mexican boy and your compliments and much much better and more flattering. (= No worries.
