City Express Guadalajara

We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

... fans joined in, but there was no sense of danger and you could never imagine a Milwall/West Ham type scenario developing.<br><br>Although the standard of football was never quite as good as what you would see in Europe, it was an extremely open and entertaining game, with a great atmosphere. At about £10 a ticket it was also a hell of a lot cheaper than the Prem, so no doubt I'll be coming back for more during my time here.

Just got back from a fantastic (and sleepless) weekend in Guanajuato, a beautiful colonial city perched on a steep ravine about four hours by bus from Guadalajara. We visited the Cervantino Festival (named after Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote), saw tons of concerts, met many new people, ate some delicious food, and saw at least one sunrise from the top of the city. More about ...

I write this at 3.30am, having just had my sleep interrupted once again. Not by gunshots, sirens, nor even the incessant train horn that deafens us on a daily basis. No, this was something much worse. Normally I can deal with pretty much any insect aside from spiders, but the last few nights have given me some new creatures to worry about...<br><br>It began three nights ago, just as I was about to go to bed. I reached for my washbag, only to sense a sudden movement ...

... us, including a variety of soups, tacos, and other local dishes. Practically every meal in Mexican includes some form of chili, lime, avocado, refried beans and tortilla but I have yet to grow tired of it. One thing I would not recommend however is a "Michelada", a Mexican larger served with tomato juice, chili, lime and salt. Try it at your own peril.<br><br>Having arrived shortly before the start of term, we still had a few days to settle in and explore the city. During ...

... home and I got very home sick. After spending the afternoon looking at all the amazing Mexican art which celebrated death, I came home and was extremely sad. I missed Joss so much, and now that I was alone with no Joss it made me miss everyone else so much more. Even though I was having a whole lot of Mexican experiences I felt it was not what I expected, for a while there had been a lack of party. A lack of young people, the other student at the homestay was over ...

... square and went to the mall so she could go shopping. We were laughing when we got to the mall because they had post its everywhere. For those who don't know me, I forget everything and I'm always writing notes so a dear friend of mine thought it would be funny to give me the nickname "post it"..... thanks Staci!

... Mexican wave ! Decent game aswell , none of your route-one long ball stuff here , very skilled players trying to pass the ball around . Guadalajara looked a good side to me and they ran out comfortable 3-0 winners , sparking mass celebration in the streets afterwards on the way home , they really love their football here its great to experience. Staying in yet another really excellent hostel , right in the centre of town , and a very sociable ...

... CDs, fruits and vegetables, you name it. Later on we went for a calandria (horse drawn carriage) ride and got a pretty good tour of the downtown. It reminds me of an old European city. A few of us then went for dinner at a nearby Mexican restaurant recommended by Tom and Betty who had lunch there. *Something that was interesting was the presence of a whole bunch of these multi-coloured painted ceramic or papier mache cows all over the parks ...

... how about the *****-tel. Okay the room had a circle bed and a tissue dispenser along side it. There was a blue stained-glass window in the shower and when you turned on the bathroom light it would light up the bedroom with blue light. Shag-a-dellick right? Oh and it had a speaker sytem that you could choose which mood you wanted...hey it was 200 pesos ($20.00 UDS). Funny huh? The first day here we go to a grande Mercado en Guadalajara. It was sooo cool. Tacos for pennies!! (miriam ...
