The way you put it it sounds as Mexico is a 3rd world country without shops and a lack of water LOL
Did it really sound like that to you? Because that's not the way we intended to come across at all. It's quite a luxury to have someone else doing all of our laundry for us. We would never be able to afford that if we still lived in the US!
The way you describe it now it does sound different. It was the same with me.. in Holland I can not affird it any longer, in Africa I can... simply because people work for way less.. an amount we are not even willing to get out of bed... on the other hand there is nothing wrong with helping someone out with a job. I think it is partly, what I thought, influenced by what I heard or think about Mexico.
