That's awesome. Ages ago I was asked via via to review an outline for a 
book, and was hoping to get more work like that. I got 2 books in return 
(I prefered it over money) :-D. OTOH, I now and then help people with Perl 
related homework in exchange of a book. Like that more.

Or just a tour guide. To be honest we recently discovered a genuine sex 
shop in Xalapa which had a nice punch line (roughly translated): A taste 
of the Netherlands.

I am Dutch, and somewhat respected here because of my size (ha ha, I mean 
186 cm [1], which somehow is used to estimate other things) so it was to 
both of us very funny (It was also the first time I actually entered a sex 
shop).

Anyway, xalapa sex is #8 and mexican sperm #5 :-D.


[1] Which regularly is a major PITA, I have to be careful not to hit my 
head, and sitting in most buses is a challenge (as is standing, for the 
former reason).
