... almost twice the size of what I'm accustomed to at White Hart Lane. Both teams share the stadium but fortunately we opted to sit with the Chivas fans who heavily outnumbered their local rivals.<br><br>The first half was one of the most unbelievable 45 minutes of football I've ever watched. Within seconds Chivas had scored with a deft lob, after one of their strikers was played through straight from kick off. Naturally the ...

... car washes, candies, and balloons hawk their wares to drivers stopped in traffic, performers ( glass-walkers, fire-breathers, clowns, ¨ singers and guitar-players, and even the odd melon juggler or two) set up shop at intersections while traffic is paused for red lights, and food stalls offering everything from freshly-fried churros to tacos al vapor, freshly pressed juices ...

... second I was about to grasp it. Looking down I was confronted by the biggest insect I have ever seen in my life! At first I had no idea what it was, but my American friends recognised it as a Praying Mantis from its distinctive posture. It had a fearsome leap but eventually we managed to trap the beast in a glass and release it into the shrubs outside. <br><br>I could sleep easy again. Or so i thought.<br><br>The next night I was awoken by a tickling sensation as ...

... out the window. <br> When I arrived in my hostel, the first thing they did was give me a Corona, on the house. After 12 hours of flying and no sleep for 36 hours that Corona tasted so damn good. <br> I got to my bed and called mum, I had to let someone know I was here, so surreal. Then I went to the common area and met whoever was around. I expected the hostel to be full of Gringos (American&#8217;s) but it was full of South Americans and Mexicans, many of whom were ...

... The trip to Tequila was obviously fun! We took a tour of one of many tequila factories there which was pretty neat. It was my first time trying cooked agave. It was sweet but I was a little worried that if I ate to much it would mess with my stomach but it sure tasted good.

It was a bit of a nightmare to get here, we caught a bus in the end of the afternoon, we thought that we would arrive around 23.00 but we arrived at 2am in the Guardalajada and there was no buses to get into the town centre (the bus terminal is to far out) and the taxis too expensive. So we ended up having to wait until 6 in the morning to get the first bu ...

As has become routine, I walk to class in the morning, determined to make it by 8:10 am and actually be on time, passing by Minerva and Los Arcos on the way. Classes are good. During the breaks, I talk to my friends about what they did last night, or try to piece together what exactly happened last night... I take my time on my way home, truly paseando through a new street and absorbing everything ...

So, I'm still in Guadalajara, and I really just wanted to try this blog thing out and make sure all of you can get "invitations." If you care about my feelings, I'm a little nervous, but ready to go. I think I may be going to the beach next week at some point, where I'm not sure, my parents like secrets. All right, Happy Christmahannukwanzaka!

This was the last major destination of our trip. After all the detours from our LAST bus ride, we finally arrived in the most "Mexican" of cities: Guadalajara (Wah-DAH-La-Ja-RA). The state of Jalisco (of which Guadalajara is the capital) is the birthplace of Mariachi, Tequila, wide brimmed sombrero's and countless other things people associate with Mexico. Chances are half the Mexican people you know (this is for all the non-Mexicans out there) are from this state. Although ...
