Mexico!
what warm hearts Ive encounterd here ! its polor opposite to its neighbour... theres good and bad people everywhere but my goodness these people really have hearts you really notice it after the states which i like to nickname the land of the big bully , it i dont know what it is but many people get their kicks out of being a bully there some of the things i saw in californina ive nevcver seen anywhere else i know there are other parts f the states which are much better,... 0 its really apparent and clear there, its like they get a thrill from it asserting their power because basically they have none, the government doesnt let them have any and any inch they get many abuse i suppose its liek what hapens at elemenetry school many kids that get bullied at home or by othetr kids can sometimes end up being the biggest bullies later i life its their turn to be the bully instead of being bullied. yeah most travellers enjoy america ive met have enjoyed the state alot to see and its clear there can be alot of opportunties for people that succeed , it you work hard and stuff people over or are the best in your field but land of freedom ah...no;) anyway about two days befor e i left for mexico i went out on a hostel tour to tijiuna it was crazy i personally love it, we took the trolly bus over the border i wanted to take photo of the biorder crossing but none allowed anyway tijuiana is really really cheap $1.25 tacos the best meat i have had in north america by far... some one said to me the other day im a veggie at heart because i complain so much about the meat in americawhich i cant stand i throw up at the sight of it ! we went to soem fdifferent bars, did tequila tasting went to a casino played pokies in spanish, had lots of cheap drinks, drank moonshine which apparently you shouldnt drink and it it burned my throat i had trouble digesting it, it was really really strong. one girl passed out at a bar we had to take here to a hospital in tijiuna we went to two different hospitals but tehy were goingto charge here alot of money so we decided to try and take her over the boarder she passed out , at the boarder US officials put her in awheelchair and examined her teeth to see if she had any drugs in her mouth it was pretty crazy then she wasnt allowed to sit in the wheelchair to wait for the trolly bus so we picked her up and put her
My wallet got nicked in tijuiana i lost $20 USbut none of my cards as left them back in san diego but then when i crossed the boarder i found $20 us on the ground bizzar! thats happened to me countles stimes in the states! I got pretty drunk at one stage and in tijuiana i almost got a TATTOO in a bar , as there are tattoo parlours in all the bars ... i was pretty keen to get my star sign tattooed in japanese Kanji characters ..on my back thank goodness i had enough sense to not get it dione its like getting married in vegas to a randoma nd elvis being your priest .. haa funny, great story t tell trashy and could have bad consequences!
Crossing the boarder really really drunk is crazy so many people took hours to cross... i took a matter of 3 mins . we had to wait for an hour for the trolly bus tehre was nothing open so had to hike for ages to find a toliet.
after that experience i decided im going to mexico! So me and this irish guty treked down to tijiuna stayed oovernight at the airport waited for a cheap flight to come up...we got a cheap flight to guadalajara Going through customs was different really relaxed far different from the states, once we arrived in guadalajara we caught a bus into town , but we had to catch one bus to the next and we miseed the connecting bus so then we got picked up by a off duty bus driver who drove us to the outskirts of downtown. stayed ina cheap hotel for $16 for the night°!
Guadalajara was enjoyable , the center was ver pretty colonial architecture some parts looked like england some looked very much like spain. Its apparently the most mexican city in mexico its the land of the mariachi= i went to a mariachi bar where men dress up in funny mexican clothes and belt out mexican ballads. In some parts there are men in mariachi COSTUMES everywhere the entire street lined up withthem its really cool also guadalajara is close to the town of ... get this TEQUILA! the town tequila is where tequila is from you can go and see it getting made! after some fun times in guadalajara caught a night bus to mexico city they drive really fast here i fell of the seat when i was sleeping on it have a bad bruise now hahhhaaa:) buses are great lots of legroom we arrived at 6am in the morning caught a cab who had no idea where to go but asked the police who are everywhere here so it makes you feel a bit safer but they still look like terriorists though and now went and saw some of the sights of mexico city, athropology muesum and cathedrals, Im going to see mexicos largests pyramid later this week and tonight im going to see a mexican wrestling match WWf style but where they wear a crazy scary masks which i took a photo of its in my facebook photos They call it lucha libre!IT reminds me of the film with jack black nacho libre . we are going to some cantinas first! mexico cxity is very uraban , cosmopolitian and downtown is pretty safe. but I will see how tonight goes I´ll still be keeping 100 pesos in my shoe to be safe!
till next time!
