I was invited to Tijuana Borderhack2.
I can’t go to Mexico but Mexico came to me. Right to the house where I
am living in Paris. With a large mexican hat. and a great open smile.
His name is Eduardo Rodriguez.
What can I show him in Paris ? ? The web site of the Tijuana borderhack
!
He loved it and laughed.
« You never heard about in Mexico City… at University ? ? »
« Never. »
He had to come to Paris to meet Tijuana borderhack. That’s my
contribution to Tijuana borderhack. ! ! ! We have to celebrate this
meeting. We will send a message together, the three of us, Eduardo,
Pascale [my friend and neighbour ] and myself.
They loved the idea instantly ! We discussed about and had a lot of
fun. I got to know mexican history. I must confess my ignorance in the
matter. I still don’t understand how it is possible that I ignored the
history about California, Texas and Arizona. Since I am aware of, I
ask everybody I meet here in Paris, « did you know that California,
Arizona and even Texas…. » The reply of the majority is negative.
« Did you know that Tijuana and San Diego…. » Nowbody knows it.
« Did you know that an air ticket from Mexico to Paris costs three times
as much as the same air ticket from Paris to Mexico » Nobody knows it.
I want to tell you something about Paris. About my Paris. Where I am
living since a few years, since the fight of the « sans-papiers »
Is Paris beautiful ? ? Yes it is.
Is Paris beautiful ? ? No, it
isn't.
Why is Paris beautiful, rich, democratic [ to a certain degree ]
cultural, artistic, etc…etc… How did it get rich ? ? Nobody knows it
??
Everybody knows it ? ? Nobody thinks of it ? ? ? Where from the
richness of occidental europe ? ? Who payed for it ? ? ?
