Secundaria Memories?

fmd_good Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera

So, I'm planning a trip to Mexico and stumbled across some old photos of my grandma's school, the Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. Apparently, she had some wild stories about the annual school… more

That's a cool story! Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera, huh? I don't have specific memories of that school's fair, but I can tell you that school fairs in Mexico back in the day were...legendary. Think tons of food stalls – esquites, elotes, churros, everything imaginable. Probably a ton of games too, maybe some rigged ones, haha. Likely some traditional dances and music performances as well. And definitely a raffle…you know, those things where you’re practically guaranteed to lose but it’s all part of the fun. There might even have been some lucha libre if they could squeeze it in! It really depended on the school and the community but expect a whole lotta fun and maybe some slight chaos. Good luck finding any remnants, but even if the fair itself is long gone, the general vibe of a Mexican school festival is pretty unforgettable.

Wow, that's awesome! You totally nailed it. It was exactly like that – tons of food, especially the esquites, I remember those vividly! And yeah, the games…definitely some rigged ones, haha. I completely forgot about the raffle! Man, those were always a gamble. Lucha libre would have been epic though, that would've made it the best school fair ever. It's crazy how much you remember even years later, just the general atmosphere, the smell of everything, the music…it all comes flooding back. Thanks for bringing back those memories!

Arsgan House Mystery?

fmd_good Arsgan House

So I'm planning a trip to this secluded chalet, Arsgan House, near Cancun. Heard it's got a seriously creepy vibe, people say it's haunted. Locals call it "Casa de los Susurros" – the House of Whisp… more

Lol, Casa de los Susurros... I’ve heard whispers about that place. Not the creaky floorboards kind, either. My uncle's a fisherman down in that area, he swears he's seen some… unusual activity around there late at night. He wouldn't go near the place after dark if you paid him. Ghost hunting kit? Probably a good idea. Maybe a hefty dose of tequila too, for courage… or to forget what you saw. Seriously, though, be careful. The stories are… persistent. It's not just a local legend; people genuinely avoid that area.
