... five goals in it, and Alan Hansen would have had a stroke if he'd witnessed some of the Atlas "defending".<br><br>Throughout the game the crowd was singing and hurling insults just as they would in England, but there was also a typically Latin American carnival atmosphere inside the stadium. This spilled out into the streets after the final whistle, with everyone jumping and chanting in a giant fiesta. Obviously none of the ...

... in the next blog post, once I collect all the fantastic picture people took last weekend. <br> Meanwhile, I´m going to share an aspect of Guadalajara that I´m particularly enamoured with: street life. Unlike back home, streets here are more than just a conveyance from one place to another. They house a vibrant informal economy, peddlers of everything from windshield wipers, 30 ...

... light in time to identify my assailant as a fair sized cockroach! However, by the time I grabbed a shoe to batter it with, the ****er had disappeared beneath my wardrobe.<br><br>I have since become somewhat paranoid. Where will it crawl next time I sleep? Not my face? Or will I awake to find a scorpion in my bed or a tarantula spinning its web around me? Tonight I'll be applying plenty of insect repellent before bed and sleeping with a loaded gun beneath the pillow...

... mostly American) at a couple of house parties. We also went to "Mutualista", a popular Cuban salsa bar, which was fun but for those of us who cannot dance salsa there is only so much to keep you entertained. On another night we met up with Becca, a girl who came here three years ago on the same course as us from Warwick, and soon returned to live here permanently. She had plenty of advice for us, and it was strange to think that maybe one day I'll be here dispensing such advice.

... By this time the party was massively packed. My first night out without Joss felt very weird, I missed her so much and wanted her to be here to enjoy it with me. My first night out in Mexico was, well, unexpected. <br> <br>Saturday, 8 August, Day 196<br><br>Guadalajara <br><br> I saw Obama today. Or not really Obama, more just his car amongst a convoy of cars. You see I went to lunch alone and ordered some sort of enchiladas. The awesome thing about Mexican ...

... un festival de Arpa, un concurso de talla de piedra de cantera, Jazz en Vivo y en una plazita de las fuentes un show de musica clasica armonizando el movimiento del agua de la fuente....Aqui si les quedamos debiendo las fotos, por ke ya era de noche cuando estuvimos y no salian las fotos bien...pero igual recomendadisima para el kiera visitar Mexico.

... up on heading North West to Guadalajara. It would have to be an 8 hour bus trip, but we weren't in any hurry! The bus trip sounded terrible in my head, but Eoin did a bit of research on t'internet and found a good company. The research definitely paid off cos the bus was great. Massive seats which folded out into a small bed, TV's, toilets, tea &amp; coffee machine...all for the equivilant of 37 Euros.. result!!!! We couldn't get a hostel so had to settle for a ...

... and arrival in Guadalajara Mexico is virtually immemorable - the only thing i DO remember is that they never stamped my passport!? After being in South Korea for 6 months and becoming quite proficient in the 'backward' Korean language, then converting that into the now 'backward' Spanish language left me sitting at my new homestay's livingroom just staring bewilderedly at them (four women)- totally exhausted, not being able to utter ...

... friend Lilia, who loves everything - We loved this city too! I can see it now: Guadalajara - Host of the 2016 Summer Oympics! It's got my vote! We walked arond the city's historic center which is centered along a 1 mile pedestrian walkway. Since it was a weekend there was much going on. OH! Before I forget, what is the deal with Mexicans and clowns? They love em' down there! I had forgotten to mention it in all the previous entries but in every zocalo and plaza that we went ...
