... de parcs aussi, pas toujours bien entretenus malheureusement, les mexicains etant décidement irrespectueux des paysages et jetant leur déchets n'importe où.

Nous visitons la maison de Robert Brady, riche héritier qui voyagea à travers le monde et rapporta de nombreux objets qu'il entreposa dans sa magnifique demeure de Cuernavaca, puis le jardin Borda avec ses jolies fontaines.

... young population.
Met Elias at the hostel (Hi !) who was very kind and showed me around. Too bad I was too tired to really enjoy the nightclubs...

Next day, my plane for Bogota took off at 3:50pm. I accidentally broke a piece inside the -cheap-plane, and was kindly asked to not destroy it during the flight ^^.

... had to create a personal "show list" describing a personal vision or mission. It could be a long term goal, a short term goal, or a personal belief that we try to live out every day. The "acts" were steps that needed to be taken to accomplish each mission or vision. The Here is mine:

Show Title: Turn That Frown Upside Down (Spreading joy through smiling and positive actions)

Act 1: Smile at 10 Strangers Each Day

What I Need: Courage and a positive attitude. And of ...

... you are well aware, I made it!

After arriving in Veracruz, I was picked up by an UWP alumni named Gil. He traveled in 1993 when the program was a year long. I told him (in Spanish of course) that I thought that'd be difficult for me to be apart from my family for an entire year. However Gil said that, at that time, UWP took a break around Christmastime to see family or friends and then they met up again at a certain location after New Year's Day. So basically, it was 2 ...

Mexico City, Mexico

I arrived in Mexico city at 10:00am few hours later than expected. Actually I arrived in Mexico city only shortly after expected but the city is so big that it took over an hour to get through the city to the bus terminal. Depending on whose counting, Mexico City is the most populated city in the world with between 18-30 million people. After a few days there I really began to feel it’s size ...

... next flight. I asked where was the best place to buy bus tickets. I wasted some time in town, the centre is really beautiful, full of old churches, large squares and rows of colonial style buildings. I then took the metro to the bus station, bought scant supplies for the coach journey because I was now use to the free food and restaurant stops that always occur leaving me with loads of food I didn't eat. Then boarded the 20 hour bus to Merida.

... it that day. So we first stopped by to see this break dancing exhibition. The break dancers formed these artificial boundaries where the crowd would stand to watch. Early on there were only about 20 spectators, but the numbers soon grew to around 100. I had front row seats!! They started out with some warm up moves, and then...BREAK DANCE TIME!! These guys were unreal!! I literally watched the whole time with my mouth wide open. Next, the guys look straight at me and tell me they ...

Well hello everybody. Well I think alot has happened in a short while. To make it short & quick, Steve & I will not be traveling together. We had some differences & it was best to not join him before anything else developed in the near future. So plan b was/is to go to Japan. Ive already been to Japan but i really want to travel to Asia again because I have fond memories of living in Hong Kong &traveling around Asia. So, in order to do this I must have ...

... figure.. lol). The beach at Veracruz is like nothing I have ever seen. The sand was all matted down, and there were a bunch of tables and chairs set up with umbrellas (kind of like an outdoor bar setting) where people were trying to sell their tables to sit at. Then there were also a lot of vendors set up trying to sell their shirts or jewelry or whatever. You name it, I´ve seen someone try to sell it! We hung out at the beach for the most of the day, and got in the water. It was a ...
