I arrived i mexico on the 22nd at around 300 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 http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-462686.html Hey everyoneWell I know this update is extremely late. I have a lot of good news and some bad news. Things have been picking up fast at the Anglo and Boulanger as the end of the year roles around test preparation and testing as well as submitting final grades. Each school has also been inviting me to some social events for the Christmas season dinners gift exchanges etc. All of this together http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-461031.html Hi everyone So this blog has been on standby for a while as I have been waiting for the internet to be restored to my neighborhood and many houses in Puebla. A story came on the news a few days ago about how the motherboards for Megacable had been robbed. Megacable provides cable internet and telephone service to almost every house in the area and consequently the Internet cafes in the neighb http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Cuetzalan/blog-454207.html 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. n mod nord n mod syd og n 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 fo http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-451050.html Hello EveryonWell I know I have been lacking on my blogging lately. It could be for a few reasons first of all the internet at my apartment is useable about 60 of the time and when it works it is usually slow and frustrating or the because I have been a bit busy getting paperwork together and preparing classes. The most likely is that it is really a combination of the two. Usualy when I get on http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Cholula/blog-444502.html Hey all Welcome back after a short break. A lot has happened since my last entry so here we go. I have been working 8 hours a week at the Instituto Boulanger. This is not enough to support me here still but has been a good learning experience and provides a bit of money. The good news is the Anglo is going to hire me. The bad news is we have to wait for my Visa to come which takes 30 work day http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-437120.html Hello again Sorry about the delay on this post I have been a bit busy. Well after three weeks here I have landed one job at a high school. The job pay is pretty low and the hours are few but it is a start. The classes are only 4 students each so I hope they can really improve their English with such small class sizes. I have also been in contact with a nonprofit English language group called http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-432473.html Hey Guys So after almost two weeks I am starting to get into the swing of things. The internet in my apartment is spochy so I have to go down to the common area to use it. My room is clean but a bit boring with the empty white walls. From my windo I have a view of mountains volcanoes and a skyscrpaer that is part of a mall. The tower itself seems to be empty and more just for show rather than act http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-428719.html Hi EveryoneThe travel blog is back I just made it to Puebla and am started to get settled in. Thankfully my spanish is coming back very quickly. I made it after one bus to Chicago a flight to Monterrey then to Mexico DF. In Mexico Fernanda came to get me at the airport and we then took a bus to Puebla where I found my new home. I have what is basically one room with bedroom and bath and a wall http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-425896.html Cholula is a city only a few miles up the road from Puebla and an interesting place to visit for many reasons. At one time it was one of the largest native cities in Mexico with great pyramids and vast development. After Spanish colonization a Catholic church was built on top of the great pyramid When we arrived we walked though the town and saw other churches. We had tamales at a little s http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Cholula/blog-423172.html We made it to Puebla early Sunday evening and met up with Jerry a local who agreed to host us through the hospitalityclub website. It is a beautiful city with a rich history in cookery and craftsmanship. Puebla is one of the larger cities in Mexico and has an enormous Volkswagen plant which we saw from the road on our way in.Jerry took us to his house where he lives with his parents and sibli http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-423171.html Hi A few years ago when I was a student in my last travel I went to Puebla Mexico. Puebla is one of the important cities in Mexico and it has many attractions such as tourism food archeologic zones history. Also Puebla is an industrial city. However the security is good so you dont have to worry. You can walk relaxed in the street and look around.Puebla is a beautiful city and it has fasci http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-421822.html So first I have to thank my cousin Kevin for setting up wireless at Mimirsquos house so that I can bring you this blog. I know this is late but I promise it has been written I just did not have Internet to update. I have asked my mom to write a guest blog about Cholula Puebla and Mexico City since I have already written on them. I thought it might be nice to get a second opinion on these pl http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/blog-410625.html We leave the very nice BB hotel Casa de la Tia Tere this morning and head to the toll road to Puebla. It is every bit as nice as we heard the toll roads are wellpaved wellmarked not much traffic and safe. We see the occasional Policia Federal but mostly enforcement of speed limits is by radar which translates to not applicable to us since we have Honduran license plates and there is absolut http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-409256.html 29409 A day of visiting churchesAnother bad nights sleep. Took ages to drift off and even when did woke up every hour or so. Got up at 7am at rash on leg has gone. Is now just a scar a bit like the remains of a jellyfish sting. Another text from a friend about Pig Flu seems to be a much bigger deal at home than it is out here and headed down for not so tasty toast but very tasty cereal http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-406599.html 28409 The Beautiful PueblaGot up early today at 730am in preparation for early set off to Puebla. Got changed packed and had breakfast at 8am. Not the usual awful toast but a toasted cheese sandwich and a yoghurt instead things had left over from yesterday. Finished packing process then and checked out at 9am for walk to tube station. Walk never bothered me before but with 20kg bags it http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-406595.html Okay so I am back in Mexico and I will shortly be updating all of you with what has been going on on this trip but first I would like to post a blog I wrote a while ago about some of mi recuerdos de Cholula my memories of Cholula. I am sitting on the plane on making my way back to the States and I just realized that this is the end of my Mexican adventures for some time. When we took off the s http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Cholula/blog-403174.html 30th APRIL 2009 PIRAMIDE A CHOLULA HOSTEL NIGHTMARE AT OAXACAOnce again I did not sleep well. Around 4 hours of restless sleep...not good I got up at 8ish after admitting defeat and went to shower. Worst shower ever too...the seal seemed to have broken on the shower head and water spurted everywhere. I tried to swap showers quickly as there was no one else in the bathroom but just as I mad http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Cholula/blog-396607.html 29th APRIL 2009 ANOTHER DAY IN PUEBLAI woke up at around 8am. 4 hours sleep yet still functioning...not sure how I didn't feel too cracking unsurprisingly but I was looking forward to another busy day. Once ready we went for breakfast downstairs. Teeny tiny bowl of cornflakes which were nice and toast with sweet butter which wasn't so nice We also got a brew and some juice. The breakfasts http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Puebla/Puebla-City/blog-396605.html
