That link is the actual goverment’s site and in the last paragraph it says: ‘So thanks again, God bless you all and don’t stop inviting. I will be your neighbor in Rancho San Cristobal (his house), so I can come over and play some soccer, come over to play Nintendo, and whatever you guys want. You have a friend in me.'”

  1. I wonder if Prime Minister Koizumi has a DS. If he does I wonder what his brain-age is.

  2. Nah, that Nintendo=video games thing was pretty much worldwide, not just northamerica. The term now is playstation which is kind of phonetically easier. Him mentioning Nintendo is because all the kids play Nintendo not playstation since hospitals and adoption centers know PSX is more aimed to teens and adult themes, and Nintendo feels more "all ages".Spain is like a whole different country in another continent, they call themselves latinos because they live in a Earth latitude not latin america.President Fox, is the best president Mexico has had in like 50 years since he is a businessman, not a politician, thanks to him Mexico is now considered a Economical Powerhouse. He's is one of the biggest Coca-Cola partners in the world.And he likes Nintendo, which pretty much says he's an all around nice guy, like most of us…

  3. Vicente Fox is the best president Mexico has had, i don't know if he knows about nintendo, sony, etc. but he is a very charismatic guy.is a shame, his gobernment period will be over on december.sorry my english.

  4. I've never, ever heard anyone say they're playing "Playstation" if they weren't actually playing Playstation.
