At first i was living with a little old lady and 2 Japanese students while i attended a 2 week language crash course, then i moved into a ... read more

Que Onda? Mexico is still going great and this next segment is about my recent trip to Guadalajara. The city of Guadalajara is huge there are some 7 million folks there with malls, cars, clubs, fast food, pimps, bums, and stoplights just like any big U.S. city. Guadalajara is home to Tequila and Mariachi music. We traveled by bus, which is the easiest way to travel here in México. The bus tickets only ran $23 each and the ride itself was only 4 hours from Guanajuanto. In addition to the ride being cheap, it included a small sack lunch and they showed movies (Man on Fire and Spiderman 2) Once in the city of Guadalajara, I instantly felt at home, well with the exception that we were like the only black people and everyone spoke Spanish, ... read more

OK, so Guadalajara was more than just a day really, we left Sayulita at about 9pm Saturday night and got a ride from Chantel to San Fransisco (8 mins north of Sayu) we caught a bus north up to San Penta (sp?) and here we wandered the town, bought an Agua Fresca and checked out the strip.

That sucked. Actually it was 4:54 with the time change. Waited in the bus station half asleep ... read more

Willkommen im neuen Leben: Nach einem langen Flug und Hoellenverspaetung bin ich endlich in Mexiko City, ein Haeusermeer - aus dem Flugzeug betrachtet. Nachdem ich mich durch den Flughafen gekaempft hatte und mit schlechtem Spanisch einen Ersatzflug nach Guadalajara (Gdl) ergattern konnte, konnte ich mich mich entspannter zuruecklehnen und den ersten Eindruck von America latina aufnehmen. Es ist laut und geschaeftig, ueberall wird irgendetwas verkauft, man sieht unglaublich viele VW-Kaefer und es gibt viele Kinder. Dennoch ist die Flughafengegend in Mexiko nicht der beste Ort, um alleine auf Erkundungstrip zu gehen. Eine nette Mexikanerin hat mich mit entsetztem Blick (bist du alleine unterwegs???) wieder in die Zollzone gelotst, wo ich sicherer aufgehoben war. Abends bin ich dann voellig erschoepft in meinem neuen Zuhause in Colonia Chapalita angekommen, wo ich nun mit einer mexikanisc... read more
