Mini day trip to Tijuana, Mexico

Today is Thanksgiving in the USA. Most shops, restaurants and commerces are closed down. As I am only 1/2 hour to the border to Mexico where thanksgiving is not celebrated and all commerces open. So just walked through the border. There is no check at all to get into Mexico. Anyone can get in without papers on foot and only when coming back to the sates that immigration is checked again.

Day of the dead – Dia de los Muertos 2011 – San Francisco

In San Francisco, it is celebrated with a procession in the mission district with most people dressed up and face painted [The most common design for Dia de los Muertos (day of the dead), is to paint the face to resemble a skull. The skull has a uniquely positive meaning in Dia de los Muertos, very different from the skeletons and ghosts of Halloween.] and make altars to honor the people that they lost in their lifes.

Maddogs of Diego – Mauritian Theatre at the San Francisco Fringe Festival !

It’s very very rare or rather never, that we get to have Mauritians perform in San Francisco. We were lucky this year that the Trup Sapsiway got to come to San Francisco to perform their piece – the Maddogs of Diego.

Maddogs of Diego is a play about the injustice the inhabitant of the Diego Garcia faced, about how Diego Garcia was traded in to the British for the Independance of Mauritius. It was an excellent play, with very good tempo, great actors and a little bit of everything, comedy, drama, tragedy.. Loved the performance !

Today, tickets to the show was sold out. Many of the Mauritians in the Bay Area drove from all around to come and attend the play. We took the theatre troupe out to eat and socialize a bit with us after the play. 

The theatre troupe is staying in a hotel only 2 blocks from me. So last week, I had invited them over for dinner and cooked some ethnic Japanese dishes for them and the day after, took them for a Mission Murals Art walk and to discover some real Mexican food in the mission !
