La Diva Latina on Broadway asking the cast of Latinologues the question:
An international survey ranked Puerto Rico & Mexico the happiest places on Earth.
Why do you think Puerto Rico & Mexico are the happiest places on Earth?

They just don't get the whole picture!
No really- they live and let live. We, Mexicans
have an expression: ¡Jodido pero contento!
Cheech Marin, Director of Latinologues
¿¡Wow?! Es la mentalidad del mejicano.
Siempre tienen la mente muy positiva.
Todo malo que pasa, se dice- Asi lo quizo
Dios. Todo lo que va a pasar... Si lo quiere
Dios.
Eugenio Derbez
I lived in both. Being Cuban I didn't know the
vastness of Mexico. There is a magic there- in the
people, its history, its culture. In Puerto Rico, they
treated me as one of their own. For those that are
not in their country there is always that añoranza.
René Laván
It's all in the culture- la música, familia,
los chistes. We have something called
Bomba. When someone says a joke
you say ¡Bomba! The next joke has to
top it and you say ¡Bomba! Puerto
Ricans have a love of life.
Shirley Rumierk
Probably because they are both so close to the
US. Both can come to the US and live Latino.
We're in the midst of a cultural revolution. We
have a good sense of humor. No one laughs
more. We love life and we love this country!
Rick Najera, Creator & Writer of Latinologues
