Ok, so yeah, I figure I should post a little something about all the "going on" in my life recently.
The archaeological life has been disappointing, to say the least, I havent been able to keep a steady job in that field because of different issues, ranging from weather to completely incompetent bureaucracy, that is why I have decided, alongside my dad, to start a little business, if this goes well, I just might put the archaeological life aside for a while, even though I love it so.
I came by this idea from my dad, when I asked him what should I do with some money I've got laying around doing nothing, I thought I could put it the bank and hope to get some interest but, looking at the interest rates right now, that didn't seem like a good idea.
This little business consists of exporting mexican crafts, pottery mostly into the US or any other country that is interested in such pieces. Right now, I'm still in the planning stage, still talking to people I know who can give me pointers, lead in the right way to make this work, good thing these people are, most of them, my relatives. My dad has always had this idea, at least ever since they moved to Guadalajara, but he didn't want to go at it alone, so with me in the picture, he put the idea on the table, and I jumped at it.
The great thing about this is that, near Guadalajara, there are two small towns, Tonala and Tlaquepaque, which are two of the most important manufacturers of mexican arts and crafts, ranging from beautiful archaeological pottery replicas to those corny tequila bottle and shot glass sets a lot of people buy. So, at least, I've got the manufacturers near by.
So that's my future plans, at least for now. If anyone has some pointers or advice, or knows someone that might be interested in this kind of merchandise, please let me know.
Cheers y'all.
