Mall Music
I have now discovered that the mall christmas music is the same no matter what country you are in. After spending all day in Guatemala City at one of the hospitals (long story, I'll write about it later), I decided to finish the day by going to the mall and eating Subway. Iris and I get there and the three story tree is already up and decorated. As I am riding the escalator to the third floor (where the foodcourt is) I hear the song Sleighride come on over the P.A. It was hysterical because it was the same version that all the malls in America have. Throughout my hour long mall experience they played all of the "Christmas' Greatest Hits". I walked outside half expecting to get into my car and drive home to my aparment in Raleigh. It was so strange.
However, I walked outside and got on a chicken bus, only to sit in traffic for an hour and a half listening to Mexican Ranchera music and the drunk guy behind me sing along, that's when I snapped back into reality and the fact that I was still in Guate.
