Today is supposedly the most depressing day of the year. Experts have discovered that the Monday of the last full week in January is the most horrible depressing of all of our 365 days:
It has been singled out by Dr Cliff Arnall, psychologist and former tutor at Cardiff University, who has used mathematical equations to reach his verdict.He worked out that people are most likely to get the blues in the final full week of January because of the combination of bad weather, Christmas debts and broken New Year resolutions.
If indeed you are feeling especially down this Monday, maybe a few of these compelling stories will help get you through the rest of the day:
Study: Most Livable Cities in Mexico
27 Sep 2005
Over the past couple of years Mexican agency Cofemer has been conducting a study to find Mexico’s most livable cities. They used 38 measures, including: geographic location, crime, education services, health care, and job market.
The winners are: Querétaro, Monterrey, Chihuahua, Saltillo, and Mexico City.
This Vivirlatino writer has lived in 3 of those 5 cities, and has visited all but one. I have to agree that these are some great cities, and besides Mexico City (a.k.a.: DF) itself, are some great alternatives to the monstrous capital.
Mexico has quite a bit of land, most of it very sparsely populated. In order to find work, people must go to one of maybe just 20 cities or so that are of significant size. That’s why there are so many people in Mexico City; but there are more and more options arising as companies and families are trying to escape the traffic and pollution of DF.
As time goes on, we will continue to see the population of cities such as Querétaro, Saltillo and Monterrey continue to grow by huge numbers every year.
