Taco-40 cents, Popcorn-50 cents, Beer-$1.20, Cock Fight-$2.00 Spending Time at a local Fair in Tekax-priceless

This past weekend 3 friends and myself went to a small pueblo called Tekax. We went for their yearly local celebration. We went with some of my local friends It was basically a fair. While we were at the fair people just wanted to talk to us and show us they knew some basic emails. We were the only non-Mexican people there, so we were stared at a lot, but the people all loved us. We had people coming up to us asking us to take pictures with them. My friend Sarah was basically like the fair queen. She was a celebrity. People kept saying she was the most beautiful person they had ever seen. It was a crazy. My friend Kyle has this problem where gay men always want to talk to him. This is fine but at Tekax this one man was really drunk and really liked Kyle so we has to get security to get the guy to leave Kyle alone. It is the most bazaar thing. We also met a guy who wanted to tell us he has 3 wives. It was very weird. He thought he was so cool, but it is part of the culture and many people lead to seperate lives with 2 families. We went to my first bull fight....don't worry they do not kill the bulls here. The stadium itself was an adventure. It was made of small looking bamboo posts and tied together...The whole time I was praying that a bull did not come through the stadium. After that we had a very cultural and gross Mexican experience. We saw a cock fight. It was the craziest thing ever. People were crazy and so involved in the rosters fighting to the death....I have to tell myself that it was a cultural experience, otherwise I would feel wrong, guilty, and disgusting, which I still kinda so, but back to this cultural experience. The people make bets, scream at the rosters, the owner kiss and blow blood out of their rosters eyes. One fight got called a tie, but it was clear that their should have been a winner so a table was thrown in the arena, a man jumped in the ring a screamed down the refs face. People threw beer in the ring. It was so crazy. We met some of the owners and this one guy had my friend Sara pick the rooster for him to bet on. It was just bazaar. The next day, we got up and had breakfast at a church that is on a a hill that towers over the rest of the town. It was very fun and relaxing. It was truely a very local cultural experience.

Note to self: Toilet seats are a luxury.
