Them/Us
My city like most others has a Good side and a bad side.
The bad side makes up about 80% of the city and is probably where 95% of the people live.
I love it, but for most it would be just dirty, crowded and poor...But it's in those places where you can do the most and have the most fun.
To the North, is where all the super rich live and I needed something from that area, plus wanted to go somewhere nice.
I get there and it's one moment I'm in some shantytown and the next I'm in Palm Beach, Santa Monica or Los Gatos.
Went from everyone is short and Mayan to everyone is taller, light skin and pretending to be European.
The obvious difference is so glaring that it's almost uncomfrotable ESPECIALLY when everything done to run the place is by the poor.
It was a false reality...Within that area you could go shop for a Prada bag, get some Krispy Cream Donuts and coffee, eat at a great Greek Place and drive around in your Mercedes.
Then you took a short 7 minute drive and suddenly you're either in the jungle or in a poor area.
No inbetweens.
Have and Have Nots.
Which was what was happening in Costa Rica and the people became very bitter...Imagine working at these amazing hotels and resturants, but making so little you can't afford to eat or stay there?
Imagine making so little and going back home while the rich stay there and don't seem to appreciate it?
That's the feeling I get when I go to places like that...The Mexicans here start to pretend they're richer than they are or flaunt it what they do have.
But they are alllllllll trying soooooooo hard to pretend to be White.
They wear the right things, they drive the right things, they act like it, but when I walk past them I can tell they aren't and I can tell they stare at my clothes or size, because I look American and as much as they bad mouth Americans THEY ALSO WANT TO BE THEM.
The rich men over here fall into 3 catagories:
- Soft and skinny dandy
- Fat and sloppy but with expensive clothes
- Super fit but like 5'8"
There's a certain vibe they give off...It's weird...Like they're mad you aren't part of them, but at the same time gawking at you because you look more natrually White then they do.
I usually see it when the rich Mexican girls get all dressed up in Bebe' or Armani and all of them are staring at some cute blonde in braids wearing a little traditional blouse and some simple jeans and sandals.
You can literally see the envy...It's weird.
Used to happen a lot with my second wife who's a gorgeous redhead, when she would walk by they would gawk...Not even hide it.
