Chris solves world problems, part 1

Note: this blog is not meant to be taken seriously or offensively.

Last weekend, I found myself in Osaka and just happened to end up at a Mexican festival celebrating Mexican Independence Day. How fun, I thought.

What a great way to meet some new people and maybe even enjoy some delicious (and hard to come by) Mexican food. So, I went along with my two Japanese friends, only to discover that there was not a Mexican person anywhere in sight. I looked and looked, but the entire festival consisted of all Japanese people and one American (me). Only in Japan would there be a Mexican festival without any actual Mexicans.

I did enjoy a refreshing Corona though. :)

Anyway, recently as you know, there have been huge problems and even protests over illegal immigration into the United States, predominantly by Mexicans. Evidenced by the Mexican-less Mexican festival in Osaka last weekend, there also seems to be a desperate need for a Mexican presence in Japan.

So, I say: People of Mexico: if you are thinking about illegally moving to America, head to Japan instead. Cranky border patrolling conservative Americans will be happy, and the fine people of Osaka can finally stop dressing in sombreros and trying to speak with a horrible Japanese-Mexican accent at their annual festival.

Problem solved. Next up: world peace.
