In San Diego, with Tijuana right across the border and one of the largest
tourist spots on the west coast, you would need to know at least a little
bit of it to get along without an interpreter. Attending bull fights in
their arena, requires a basic knowledge of it, just to know what's going
on. Fortunately, the guys and gals selling refreshments in the isle speak
English. "Cerveza Tecate, por favor" is not required...
