Ibis Guadalajara Expo

We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

... 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 ...

... more festoon most street corners in the central business district. Colorful graffiti pops up in unexpected places...on the walls of banks, in side alleys, and even in a few ¨designated graffiti zones¨, comprised of white squares painted on to the walls of several businesses in my neighborhood, which I´m sure were ¨designated by the artists themselves and not the local goverment ...

... 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 ...

... tales we had heard from Mexican immigrants who sought work in the promised land, but had failed to realise their dreams across the border. He was very repentant of his former ways and now strove to keep his friends from violence and robbery. Many of his companions had resorted to drink and drugs but he assured us that noone would harm us here.<br><br>The next day we enrolled at CEPE, the University of Guadalajara's language centre for foreign students. We have Spanish ...

... 2-4-1 cocktails which is super cheap when a cocktail is only $6 to start with. After the cocktails we went to another bar where one of the girls from the cultural exchange (who I had vomited in front of) worked. We sat here and chilled chatting to travellers and Mexican&#8217;s, it was nice. The people in Guatalajara were the friendliest I had met on my travels, always wanted to get to know a stranger. A brilliant city, I could see myself living happily in Guatalajara. <br><br>

... t make it back to the hostel tonight?" surface, and thus a cold morphs to certain death in my mind. I'm the first to admit I put a lot of pressure on myself. But hooray for fresh mango juice right around the corner. So even though I just wrote in the blog, I thought I'd take this opportunity to say a bit more about Guadalajara and what's been going on with me. I think I'm coming to the realization that I'm not going ...

Arrived in Guadalajara 4 hours east of Guanajuato. Getting nearer to the Pacific coast so much warmer than I´ve experienced so far. Guadalajara is Mexico´s second city in Jalasco state, home of Tequila and Mariachis. Hope to visit Tequila on Saturday and have a few samples :-)) Today the 18th I had a good wander around central Guadalajara-Government Palace, Cathedral ...

... up. The textbooks weren't enough so I used some online tutorials at 123teachme.com. They have another section of the site that lists a ton of Spanish language schools all over the world. I mentioned the idea of going to another country to learn Spanish to my parents and they liked the idea. So we looked through the descriptions of all the schools on 123teachme.com and found ...

... 52 year cycle. Now they do it 52 times a day and run around with a hat and if they see you look over in the direction of the pole they say things like "Donation! Donation! No donation, no show!!" (this happened in Tulum. They have these guys everywhere). So where was I? Oh so the bus ride was actually pretty comfy and quiet. This led us to assume wrongly that most overnight bus rides are thus, which is not true.. So Mexico City. The biggest city in the world ...
