Why… yes, procrastination, found even HERE… in Mexico, crazy I know, but it happens. Ok, straight to the point, hotspot events along my Mexican adventures.
Tahiti - very humid, very hot, very beautiful…. Saw a drunken man being dragged away because he was getting smart
L.A - BIG!, BIG buildings, BIG cars, BIG servings of food (Denny’s appertizers bigger than our mains), BIG everything
TEXAS/ Houston - they have transport carts in airport, and if they like you, you get a ride (we got a ride) 😉
Monterrey - FINALLY arrived 9:35pm Saturday (Sabado) < 2:35pm Sunday> so approximately 17 hours behind NZ, (that took me FAR too long to work out - est 10 mins)
Night 1 - met MAC (florida) - now a flat-mate went to a local bar around ‘Hotel Colonial’, 3 floors, cheaps drinks everywhere, people scout, spot and spade the foreigners e.g James and I. Also lived opp. Another “bar” - (unknown whore-house), MAC (knows Spanish) sed there were a list of names on chicas and their prices on the wall, some as little at $60 pesos - $NZ 8
Day 2 - took at tour of the Tec de Monterrey, realized that the
On the long haul
JAMES IS STUNNED EVEN BEFORE WE GET THERE - NOTHING NEW$US 10/ 100 pesos was FAR too much $$$ for the cabbie since it was only suppose to be $25 pesos
Generally, living with all guys, ‘sadly’ means drinking and eating out 9/10 times, regardless of the time. But from a couple of some near death experiences (exaggeration? yes) I’ve decided to cut down. Don’t want to go back to the ol' school days now do i?
Day 4 (martes) - found apartment, met Pierre-louis, French flatmate
Day 5 (miercoles) - moved on in, experienced the biggity of Wal-mart, imagine imagine st lukes all on the same lvels. It’s has EVERYTHING.
NIGHT 6 (jueves) - sick of hanging out with boys al the time - intended to go to ladies night, running on Mexican Time, and didn’t make it, meet up with international randoms and fiesta the night away at
like viaduct but better and live reggae/ dub underground rock (gooooood shet)
NIGHT 7 - decided to fiesta with the boys official internationals fiesta & , but wish I didn’t, can’t remember anything, ist never happened to be before, not good….. don’t’ recommend it.
THAT week was pretty much meeting lots and lot and lots of people from lots and lots and lots of countries, lots of cheesy orientation seminars and lots of good times, which most I can remember. THIS week is the first real week of school, so I’ll tell you how that goes down
Sorry for being a slack ass, but that’s the jist of it. I’ll elaborate more on particulars when requested. I’ll try Blog at least once, weekly. Thinking about all of you daily.
sorry, from the excellente gramma, but i really need to peeeee ( they told us not to leave you laptop, you probably won't expect it to be there when you return)
SO much love
SO much missing your kissing (not really kissing, but I do miss you guys)
SO …. ciao for now
