Las Entrevistas

Today was a loooong day.  Seriously my head wants to explode after a day of travel to and from Guadalajara and 5 Mexican journalists holding tape recorders up to my face asking me questions in Spanish.  It's funny because news and press and media are the real thing here.  You can hold a press conference in Mexico about absolutely nothing and you will have at least 40 journalists and a handful of radio stations and tv programs show up.  It's not that there's nothing to talk about - there is PLENTY to report here but for some reason, these journalists take every story VERY seriously.  So, I spent my day discussing my wonderful automotive aftermarket trade show, the economic crisis, the swine flu and customization of vehicles.  I think my favorite question of the day was..."How has the personalization of vehicles changed in Mexico over the past few years?"...ummmm....huh?  Definitely passed that one off to our automotive industry expert.  Overall, the day was successful and I managed to get through it speaking in Spanish!  I'll have to follow up this post with some links to online media coverage we receive from our interviews...they will most likely involve pictures of me with a very confused look on my face!
