Posted by Dennis On February - 20 - 2010

My Spanish is far from perfect. so I can understand having a few grammatical errors when translating something.

I guess the word “with” is very difficult to spell if you speak English as your second language.

About Me

I am a gringo living in Mexico City, hence the name Chilingo: a mix between what they call citizens of Mexico City (Chilango) and what they call Americans (gringo). Chilango + Gringo = Chilingo.
