  1. Hi Makayla,

    Oh, my goodness! You have taught me a lot about Mexico that I didn't already know. For example, I had no idea that Mexico was sinking at a rate of 8-10 inches per year. That's a phenomenal rate (and quite scary). I am glad that Auckland doesn't appear to be sinking!

    I was also surprised to read that artists in Mexico can pay their taxes with their artwork (in lieu of money). I wish that we could do the same thing here. Do you think that our Prime Minister (Bill English) would ever allow us to pay our taxes with artwork? Somehow, I doubt it ;-)

    Thanks for this great blog, Makalya. I have really learned a lot about Mexico already!

    Cheers,
    Rachel :)

  2. Wow! Those are some really interesting facts! I actually had to double check the Mexico is sinking one, turns out it is Mexico City which is crazy because 21 million people live there.

    I do a lot of art in my spare time too, so being able to pay taxes in art is probably a really good way to motivate me to do more work! haha!

    This was a really cool blog. Keep up the great work.
