Dia del Cartero

So here's a weird Mexico thing.  Apparently tomorrow is "mail carrier day" and I'm supposed to give mine a tip in this conveniently provided envelope:


I like how the cartoon mail lady is both busty and has anime eyes.  Just like my actual mail lady!  Or not.

I had to ask my friends how much to give.  I don't want to give her anything because there are still 3 packages out in never land sent by my mom, my mother in law and a friend which have never arrived.  But I assume if I don't tip, nothing will ever show up in our mailbox again.

So, in goes $200 (pesos, about US$15) and as my friend Arti told me "you have to give more again at Christmas."  El sigh.
