Miss Universe in Mexico
In 1985, my favorite was Miss Zaire, now Democratic Republic of the Congo …. Miss Zaire Kayongo “Benita” Tete Mureka … Miss Africa and great favorite at Miss World 1985 … … its exotic beauty was very special. Some people think I’m a fan of Miss Universe … It’s true … My mother is guilty of this. She has a great admiration for Gladys Zender, Miss Universe 1957.
remember that my country was chosen to host the Miss Universe pageant in January 1982. For me it was a surprise to read in the newspapers that Lima, Peru’s capital, hosted the Miss Universe. I was very happy … My country made a great contest … sometimes against the Sendero Luminoso terrorist … One of my favorites was Miss Brazil .. spectacular Cecyle Marques Pinto da Sylva (1.80 m-18 years and brown eyes) was born in Belem do Para, Amazonas (Amazon jungle.

For example, the island of Cozumel is a tropical paradise in Mexico … The jungle is the real fascination paradisiacal landscapes …. At the same , Mexico has one of the oldest stories in the world. Like Peru, France and Thailand, Mexico is home to the international gastronomy … Mexico is famous for its food … tacos, empanadas, mole, and enchiladas … Finally, people are very warm and friendly.
