December 1999 Issue
NotTheNews is an irreverent look at life in Merida Yucatan, Mexico; from a neurotic foreigner's point of view.
Last update: December 15, 1999


This Month:

Merida - Capital de la Cultura de las Americas

You might ask... "What the &^%@#$&^% is going on here? I read this article 2 months ago and it's still here."

Yes, but it's still very relevant. The date approaches for the culturally significant Kairo/Mercurio concert. Who said Merida has no culture? Besides, others haven't read it yet. So there.

What culture are we honoring here exactly? Yes it's reheated leftovers from the October issue, but tastes even better the next day, don't you think? And the page now features a POLL, so YOU can VOTE and express YOUR opinion on the matter...

A Letter to the Editor - Congratulations Merida!
One of NotTheNews readers comments positively (for the second time, saying the same thing, so it must be true;) on a recent visit...

The Casual Restaurant Critic in Manhattan
Still a little bored with the local scene, went to New York for brunch...

Driving in Merida - An Introduction
Unbelievable but true... NotTheNews has never published anything on driving in Merida!

Yucatecan Photograph Gallery

Hello Litanka ... we're waiting for those photographs...



And if you can't understand all this english, resulting in your getting upset with the author and foreigners in general, try reading the equally critical page on life in Merida written by one of it's more observant inhabitants... the famous X'tabay!
