The site of advanced Amerindian civilizations, Mexico came under Spanish rule for three centuries before achieving independence early in the 19th century. A devaluation of the peso in late 1994 threw Mexico into economic turmoil, triggering the worst recession in over half a century. The nation continues to make an impressive recovery. Ongoing economic and social concerns include low real wages, underemployment for a large segment of the population, inequitable income distribution, and few advancement opportunities for the largely Amerindian population in the impoverished southern states. Elections held in July 2000 marked the first time since the 1910 Mexican Revolution that the opposition defeated the party in government, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Vicente FOX of the National Action Party (PAN) was sworn in on 1 December 2000 as the first chief executive elected in free and fair elections. To be updated

Hola Todos! Bienvenidos a las viajes de Enchilada y Chimi! (aka. Steven's first week in Mexico!) Our story begins at Terminal 2 in Mexico City where our leading man, a gringo on the outside but Mexican on the inside, is surprisingly tapped on the shoulder by a girl who he thinks is a stranger...possibly another traveler. Yet, little did he know that his love, a recent Mexico resident, had journeyed to the big city to surprise him and bring him safely to her home, Cuernavaca. The finger on his shoulder was hers, and after a double-take or two, they floated on [View Full Entry]

Hops, Tanaan kierrettiin ympari San Cristobalia viimeisia keroja ja saatiin syotya todella hyvia juttuja. Jotain paahdettuja nachoja seka sen lisaksi paikallista Limon Pieta. Olivat todella hyvia. Sen jalkeen vedettiin ihan luksusbussilla tanne Tuxtlaan ja pyorittiin autolla ympari kaupunkia. Oppaana toimi Pn kaverit, jonka mukaan kaupunki on todella meksikolainen ja todella ruma. Ei todellakaan maininnut mitaan hyvaa paikasta jossa asuu. Kaytiin keskustorilla, jossa mummelit ja papat tanssivat marimban tahdissa. Oli hauskaa seurata paikallista touhua kun kaikki vauvoista vaariin kemuttivat [View Full Entry]

Eli kaytiin eilen seikkailemassa Palenquen Maya-temppeleilla, jotka olivat aika vaikuttavat. Ensimmaiset heput asettuivat alueelle 100-luvulla, mutta 600-luvulta eteenpain oli tehty suurin osa paikoista. Paikan piti olla(ja varmaan olikin) loistavassa kunnossa, mutta lahimuistissa on aivan mahtava Petra seka Angkorin alue. Ne molemmat olivat todella paljon paremmassa kunnossa ja varsinkin pienten yksityiskohtien suhteen. Matka Palenqueen kesti n.5h per suunta eli istuttiin eilen minibussissa 10h. Lahdettiin aamulla klo 06.30 ja palattiin illalla klo 22. Oli aika rankkaa etenkin istumalihaksill [View Full Entry]

Hello Everyone, I have arrived and settled in at my new home in Xalapa, Mexico! I arrived Wednesday night around 8pm after a five hour plane ride to Mexico City and another five hours aboard a bus to Xalapa. The plane ride passed in a sleepy daze but the bus ride was beautiful, cutting through the expansive country side of Mexico. Nearing Veracruz, the terrain became quite mountainous and a thick mist sat above the tree line due to the damp weather they've had the past couple weeks. My host mom "Yolie" and her daughter [View Full Entry]

Belize had not quite supplied the beach time enjoyment we had been looking for after our hectic excursions through central America. Therefore we decided that Tulum in Mexico may be a better option. As I said in my previous blog we were met after our flight by a driver who took us from the Belize border town through the checkpoints and onto the station to get our bus to Tulum. All pretty easy and uneventful as he managed to get us through all the queues stress free. The bus we wanted to get was supposed to be a luxury one but [View Full Entry]

Day 331 - Tuesday 26 August The bus dropped us off in Palenque about seven in the morning and we checked ourselves into a nearby hotel. As the bus driver for some reason had been playing music all through the night and we´d had to all get off the bus when it refuelled at four I'd had a lot of broken sleep. It was off straight to bed. I was up just after lunchtime and we went to have a walk around the town. Its just like many other small towns I've visited, rather pleasant. As its such a warm day [View Full Entry]

Its been a scary/crazy/funny/annoying week, our first week at the University of Guadalajara (universidad de Guadalajara). I'll start from the beginning but I'll say now its been an pretty stressful. As of Monday we had to both attend classes, enroll in subjects and generally get through all the normal administration that you have to do at the start of any semestre at uni... in spanish... not knowing what the hell we were doing. The Friday before we'd had our little orientation day with the campus, they'd told us how we should enroll and gave us a map and sent us on [View Full Entry]

Hello Everyone, I have arrived and settled in at my new home in Xalapa, Mexico! I arrived Wednesday night around 8pm after a five-hour plane ride to Mexico City and another five hours aboard a bus to Xalapa. The plane ride passed in a sleepy daze but the bus ride was beautiful, cutting through the expansive countryside of eastern Mexico. Incredible fields of green vegetation stretched as far as the eye could see though in the past couple weeks the region has been slammed with rain turning many of the fields into vast lakes. Nearing Veracruz, the terrain became quite mountainous [View Full Entry]
