LATIN TILL I DIE

I remember my times working on the ship, I have met people from everywhere, you meet English people, Canadian People, Rumanian People, Indian People, Thai people, Philipino people, etc. Mostly we differentiate people for the language they speak not really for the nationality; so it means I was into the Latin people group, all of us we live in America continent, I was witness of disagreements between us, by example I heard that in central America most of the countries don’t like Mexicans for certain reasons, Nicaraguans and Costa Ricans don’t have a good relationship, Chileans and Peruvians are in the same situation as well, Uruguayans don’t like Argentineans, Chileans either; and we can make a bigger list about these differences between us, the alleged Latin American Brothers.

We speak the same language, we have similar habits, our food has some similarities as ceviche, lomo saltado, arroz con pollo, lentejitas, etc, everyone cook them in its particular way; we have probably some similarities on our musical preferences as well, even we have the same type of Governors (Corrupts)etc; many factors that keep strong links between us, which maintain us attached somehow, but there is something that apparently is trying to separate us like envy, avarice, land extending desire, jealousy about what  it has and I don’t, I invented this before you , etc, many many stupid reasons that put the Latin American union at risk.

But I realized in my stay on ships that Latin People are very dear as well, many people love our language and they try to learn it very much, when we dance our salsa, merengue or bachata everybody get crazy and try to follow our sexy moves and steps, many people on board says that we are funny and charm people, the Latin charisma is recognized by every nationality, we have to know that the most attractive way to play football is practiced in most of the Latin countries being Argentina and  Brazil the most representative ones ,  Venezuela is the country with more Miss Universe and Miss world in history being 6 and 7 winners respectively and we know that Colombians and Puerto Ricans are very desired girls as well, America is the continent with more biodiversity in the world so much so that most of it is concentrated in Latin countries, one of the richest sea in the world bath Peruvian and Chilean coasts, the most popular and beautiful beaches in the world are concentrated in the Caribbean sea being the most popular ones the beaches located in Cuba and Dominican Republic (Both of them Latin countries), the largest mountain chain in the world are the Andes which are located in South America, 2 of the 4 most important alimentary resources in the world are potato and corn were born in America, our main language Spanish come obviously from Spain but its more representatives writers are undoubtedly Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Colombian), Mario Vargas Llosa (Peruvian) and Raul Bolaños (Mexican) all Latin writers, probably I can keep writing more about us but it will keep me long, just I want to finish this, saying that we have to feel proud about to be Latin, according my perception obtained after 15 years living with many nationalities around the world, with all our defects and virtues the people from the rest of the world like us, love us and think we are very special, so be proud to had borned Latin.

Hasta la vista baby…..
