Blogs from Puebla City, Puebla, Mexico, North America - page 5

Hello! Wow, I really got lazy about this blogging thing. Apparently you guys like it though. So, I will try and be more up on it. The problem I saw was that life here has become sort of monotonous. I go to work, sleep, eat, run, skateboard and hang out with friends not much else. But, someone told me I have to make the boring interesting so that is what I will do. First things first, I have moved house (as the British say). I now live much farther away from my job and girlfriend. It does have its benefits though. I now have hot water 24/7. For those who I have kept in touch with, you may remember my old apartment had solar heated water. This was a problem in the rainy season here. Other ... read more

Mexico Nachdem ich mich in Boston von Kristin verabschiedet habe, begab ich mich zum Flughafen, wo ich geduldig auf meinen Flug wartete. Kurz bevor es eigentlich Zeit gewesen waere einzusteigen, kam jedoch die Meldung, dass mein Flug nach Washington gecancelled wurde. Nach einer gewissen Ratlosigkeit konnte ich jedoch relativ schnell alles neu organisieren und ich bekam einen Sitz auf dem naechsten Flug zwei Stunden spaeter. So wartete ich eben in Boston statt in Washington und kam dann doch puenktlich in Mexico an. Da ich bei Nacht ankam, konnte man alle Lichter von Mexico City sehen und es ist gewaltig, wie riesig diese Stadt ist. Wir wurden sogar von einem Feuerwerk empfangen, auch wenn dieses vermutlich nicht unseretwegen stattfand. Nachdem ich den Zoellner davon ueberzeugen konnte, dass ich wirklich nicht Spanisch spreche (obwohl ich seiner Meinung ... read more

Hey guys, I found some time here at work to put a quick blog in for you. Things are going very well recently. Maria´s mother came out of the surgery very well, and has been making a rapid recovery. I am doing my best here to stay stress free with my heavy work load I have had, 40 hours a week, plus class preparation. I have not had any real chances to travel, but have been enjoying work and life here in Puebla. Maria and I will be heading to the beach for semana santa which is next week. We are going to the western coastal state of Oaxaca. It should be a good break from the normal. I am also hoping to finaly move into a new apartment this next month if everything goes as ... read more

Hey its Syd this time, your guest speaker for the day. I arrived i mexico on the 22nd at around 3:00, I had a good flight and there were usually people to help me along for free (aside from one guy who wanted a tip and took me to the wrong place). Before the plane landed the three things I noticed were all the colors the buildings were painted, how close the houses were, and the layer of smog that surrounded the airplane. When we got into town we went to the mall behind jakes house to finish up a little christmas shopping. On the 23rd and 24th we took the bus to the center and look at the artisans and the cathedral and went into another church (I forgot my camera on the 23rd though ... read more

Der var en gang et stort og maegtigt rige. Riget laa paa en oe midt i en stor soe og havde kun 3 tilfoersels veje. Én mod nord, én mod syd og én mod vest. Paa oen var der to tvillinge byer, der hver havde deres religioese centrum. Her blev der hver dag ofret et menneske hjerte, for ellers ville solen ikke staa op den naeste dag. Kongen af riget var stor og maegtig og kontrollerede alle de andre folk omkring oeen. Disse skulle betale skatter til Kongen ellers blev de taget til fange og senere ofret. Kongen tog hver dag et til to damp bade, der blev lavet ved, at der blev haeldt vand og urter paa varme sten. En dag kom der nogle hvide maend med blaa oejne. Profetien var gaaet i opfyldelse: Guden ... read more
