... wird einem diese Frage immer wieder gestellt und ich habe mir fuer die Zukunft vorgenommen einfach dumm zu tun, womoeglich noch zu sabbern anfangen und zu sagen, man verstehe nicht um was es geht.<br><br>Ich bin nach dieser Nacht in dem netten Hostel trotzdem umgezogen und Hause nun im "Junax", der Herberge fuer Menschenrechtsbeobachter. Hier ist nicht viel los - ein frz. Schweizer, den ich hier schon erwartet hatte (Yvonne von PeaceWatch hatte es mir ...

... a chance to watch one of the documentaries I mentioned above). But its a pleasant not to mention cheap little town, and I had a pleasant and reasonably priced time here, with the added bonus of seeing Mexico win 3-0 away to Costa Rica on the same day that Ireland snatched a probably undeserved 2-1 away victory over Cyprus, both of which kept the respective victors well in the hunt for a place in South Africa next year: that day was a good day!<br>

... I have become obsessed with these charcol chicken vendors you get all over the place in Mexico, where they butterfly cut chickens and roast them over coals and serve them to you with rice, wraps, lime, salad, etc. Its like a Mexican version of nandos as they spice it with chilli and lime and things, which is pretty similar to the old peri peri goodness from back home. Once we got back on the bus, I was lucky enough that the hot looking girl sat next to me ...

... pense pas que nous aferons jamais affaires ensemble. &lt;br&gt; En conclusion, pour ma part, je suis partie en disant: &amp;quot;Thank you. Bye-bye!&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Et ce, le jour meme ou un Québecquois de l&amp;#39;auberge se plaint a moi de ces paresseux peuple français qui utilisent a tout bout de champ des expressions en anglais, partout, tout le temps!

... Maedels! Ich verstehe euch!" Oh nein, gleich wieder blamiert! In dem Sinne - Ein frohes neues Jahr euch allen! Nachtrag: San Cristobal liegt uebrigens in Suedmexiko in der Region Chiapas, die zu den aermsten Gegenden des Landes zaehlt. Sehr interessant ist die Bewegung der Zapatistischen Armee der Nationalen Befreiung, kurz der "Zapatista". Es handelt sich dabei um eine indigene Guerillaorganisation, die sich seit dem 1.

19 October 2008 - Sunday Early but not too sprightly we arrived at Las Palomas Hostel in San Cristobal. It's very centrally located, and though we were placed in a 6-bedroom dorm, we had an en-suite bathroom making everything very comfortable and convenient. A shower later, and we were ready to explore the town. Our first stop was the very disappointing amber museum. I'd been looking forward to see Chiapas amber and that wasn't exactly what I'd had in mind ...

... San Cri, I should be getting fitter. Decided to have an easier day today, just pottering round town, after the tortuous 6 hour bus ride yesterday. If the scenery had been visible through the low cloud it would have been spectacular (nice to see some hills after Cozumel!). All the bends & topes (sleeping policemen - must have been at least 60), meant it was hard  to sleep so I was positively vomititious! So tired, let one of the bus station ...
