You shouldn’t have
By: Cecilia Martínez
For every magnificent gift, it is inevitable that a disastrous
one be granted as well. Therefore, we decided to bring to you
the absolutely worst christmas gifts ASFM students and
teachers have ever received.
“When Christmas came, my grandmother used to find
random objects in her house, wrap them and give them as
gifts. In 2010, she gave some crayolas to my sister, and then
forgot them in my grandparents house. Next christmas, I
opened my gift to find the crayolas my sister had left last
year. I mean, we were used to the crappy gifts, but she had
exceeded my expectations.”-Cecilia Martínez
“My mother gave me the same book as a christmas gift twice
in a row.”-Jim Burns
“I was only 10 years old, and when I opened the bag my aunt
gave to me I felt confused because I thought they must be for
my sisters. Unfortunately, the purplish-blue juicy pants had
my name on the tag.”- Richard Husemann
El Catador
By: Andrés Gutiérrez and René Bortoni
Christmastime is coming up quickly, as well as the formal,
suffocating dinners with family and friends. In order to
provide different alternatives to El Gallo, La Nacional, and
Mercurio, we visited a new venue for you to try this holiday
season.
The Soft News team, comprised of René Bortoni, Daniel
Escamilla, Andrés Gutiérrez, Cecilia Martínez and editor
Eugenio Garza, visited el Mar del Zur on November 1st,
located in plaza O2. After devouring 3 appetizers, 2 entrees,
and 2 desserts, the team left the restaurant pleased. Garza
found the Mexican-Thai restaurant “worthy of recommenda-
tion due to their excellent presentation, great taste, and
splendid service.”
Spent: $2500 MXN for 5 people including a 15%
gratuity. Dessert was on the house.
