... of an anticlimax as Chivas seemed content to defend their lead whilst occasionally pushing for the elusive fifth goal. The style of football here is pretty different from what you see in England. The players tend to dribble more and its not as physical as the average Premier League encounter. Furthermore, if this display was anything to go by, Mexican teams don't know how to defend properly. There could have been ...

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 ...

... crawled across my chest. I instinctively brushed it off me, but I was still half asleep and it was too dark to see what it was. All I knew was that whatever it was had been big enough to wake me from my slumber.<br><br>Yet last night I had forgotten all about this incident and drifted off to sleep as normal - only to be woken once again in the small hours of the morning by something crawling along my back. This time I was quick off the mark and reached for ...

... first time. Sadly I forgot to bring my sombrero, but I still felt suitably like a cowboy as we rode along dirt trails through the forest in a nearby park. It was great fun and the horses were surprisingly easy to control, but once they start galloping it is not the most comfortable experieince for male riders! <br><br>Guadalajara has a huge student population so there is a plenty of local nightlife to explore. In the first few days I met loads of other international ...

... girls) they had met the night before so we all hopped back in the car and off we went. This time we listened to a Fabric CD and I took great pleasure telling them all of my fantastic Fabric adventures.<br> The chicas were at another party, a house party. This party was full of international students and was like a smaller version of one of those American house parties you see on TV. <br> After a while, a bigger group than before pilled back in the car to the squat ...

Cuatro horas en Guadalajara nos dieron la oportunidad de conocer su centro historico...Hermoso, Guadalajara es la segunda ciudad mas importante en Mexico, pero creo ke mil veces se lleva por delante a Ciudad de Mexico. Su centro es impresionante, museos, teatros, catedrales, plazas, ademas muchos expectaculos culturales en todos lados...Pudimos nosotros ...

... I savour la comida, the main meal of the day, with the company of my roommates and my host mother. I'm so full after eating, I can only either take a siesta or surf the net. And after that, my roommate and I finally decided that this would be the day we finally went to see Templo Expiatorio. So here are fotos of Templo Expiatorio, Museo de las Bellas Artes and a building of the Universidad de Guadalajara.

... the airlines are different, my baggage was not automatically transfered. I also didn't wanna go to a hotel because I didn't wanna run out of cash during my month in Mexico - I which I thought could be a possiblity! I would've loved to go out and see what LA looks like, but with a huge suitcase, I really didn't want to lug it everywhere. After 16 hours alone in the cold and f***king bored to death, not to mention exhausted, my ...

... friendly people, large selection of crats, etc.). It was like a more manageable version of El D.F.; cosmopolitan, but colonial at heart. We were both pleasantly surprised at how well organized the city was and how effortlessly traffic flowed in this city of 1.7 million (Mexico's 2nd largest). It was apparent that a lot of forethought had gone into planning the city's urban lanscape and infrastructure. A breath of fresh air after the less than splendid Cuernavaca. Like our ...
