October 1999 Issue
NotTheNews is an irreverent look at life in Merida Yucatan, Mexico; from a neurotic foreigner's point of view.
Last update: October 27, 1999
Can you believe that the state government of Baja California has collected 25 tons of food and other aid for flood victims in Veracruz, Oaxaca and Puebla and Mexicana has offered to fly it to the disaster relief areas for free, but the CUSTOMS agents won't let it through because the aid includes some imported products and those aren't allowed past Baja California's borders... VIVA MEXICO!
Think these women care whether their canned food is imported or has paid the appropriate duties and taxes?
