My work place in Mexico City is located on an area where lots of Jews happen to live, I guess you should know more about these kinds of places, Gunnar, but you can find at some supermarkets in the area (Interlomas) an special section for kosher meat in the meat section. I was impressed by that (that is not common over here) when the supermaket put a huge menorah (I'm sorry, please correct me if that is not the correct word) in the parking lot instead of the very common Christmas tree. You can even find some other kosher food, apart from meat, under a big David star sign in those supermarkets. The only true fact is that driving from Oaxtepec to Interlomas would take up to 5-6 hours round trip (Interlomas happens to be in the northwestern metropolitan area of Mexico City), but since I may be going at least once a week to that area to check several work issues (at least show my face to my bosses :-)), I can offer myself to take Ted to those supermarkets to buy his food and take him back, if somebody else is willing to come with us. -- David Moreno Garza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://www.damog.net/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GPG: C671257D Cuando yo nací, la tierra tembló. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
