Mexico in the 2010 Winter Olympics

Posted by Dennis On February - 12 - 2010

In case you were wondering, Mexico does have some representation in the 2010 Winter Olympics. They will be competing in Men’s Ice Hockey and in Alpine Skiing. They’ve never won a medal at the Winter Olympics, and it seems, there will be very little television coverage here. Maybe they’ll show their hockey team’s games.


NOTE: It looks like the hockey team didn’t make it to the Olympics. I don’t know what happened, but they weren’t there. Mexico’s only hope is in Alpine Skiing.

Graffiti in Mexico City

Graffiti in Mexico City

I always say that the graffitti in the south part of the city is better than the northern part of the city. Not sure why I took this particular picture, but I thought it was interesting.

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.
