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 actual purpose. I can now get to the center and back easily and know my way around decently. Life here is not as slow as it was in Chile. It is Mexico, but it is a large city (3 million) and for me it is taking some getting used to. I have leads ... read more

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 don´t have to worry. You can walk relaxed in the street and look around. Puebla is a beautiful city and it has fascinating churches in each corner. Also Pubela has breathtaking historic places, museums and a lot of entertainment centers suchs as discos, bars, big cinemas, theaters and exclusive shops. In addition, the people are very friendly, helpful and honest and the food is delicious.

29/4/09 = A day of visiting churches Another 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. Ready and out of the door at 10am. Could have been been ready early, but no point, nothing opens early in Mexico. Headed down ‘sweet street’, so named because all shops sell sweets and candy. Should have been a really cool street to walk down, but even at 10am, most ... read more

28/4/09 = The Beautiful Puebla Got up early today at 7:30am 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 was soon starting to. Did I mention how hot it is in Mexico!?! And why aren’t these bags ever getting any lighter? Glad when we got there, although not glad about having to put awful face mask back on. More and more people wearing them each day we go there. Got our 2peso ticket and the same 3 tubes to take us to bus ... read more
