mexicans part 2

There is a strong sense of identity in Mexico, with flags and symbols everywhere. There is also a strong security presence with security and police walking around with sawn off shotguns in the cities.
At 6 pm the soldiers are taking down this huge flag in the middle of Mexico Cityand they had to make sure no part touched the ground. There was a bit of a wind blowing so they had a hard time of it at first.
I suppose if you have such a big neighbor, you like to stand up for your own special character. I didn't expect it to be so obvious or so catchy. It feels good to be Mexicano, and since they are not so tall and fairly solid, I fit right in.
