... group is almost entirely Australian. There is just one other 'Pom' who I can discuss the X Factor with. At dinner I was surrounded by Aussies. We had the old favourite travellers conversations -<br><br>1. What is the most ill you have been on holiday? An Aussie couple beat everyone else with their graphic details. Nice topic for the dinner table.<br>2. How heavy is your backpack? I won - yes!!<br>3. Which anti malarial tablets are you taking and what are the horrific side effects?<br ...

... vestiti in modo macabro tipo Halloween, i bambini ci provano con "dolcetto o scherzetto", ci sono venditori di cibarie in ogni dove.<br>Ho visto una mostra interessante sulla storia dell'inquisizione, allestita all'interno del vero palazzo che fu dell'inquisizione, attuale facoltà di medicina-radiodiagnostica. Anche se in spagnolo ho compreso quasi tutta la narrazione dell'audioguida; la chiesa ce l'ha sempre avuta la mania del controllo e dell'annichilimento del pensiero ...

... intensive gaze for about two minutes before replying. When the new party failed to materialise we returned to the first place for a bit, where crazy Japanese/Colombian guy started throwing up on the floor. The party was winding down now so we eventually wandered back to the hostel at around 5am.<br><br>Having spent the previous four nights drinking, our final day in the capital was a write-off; spent nursing hangovers and preparing for our next trip to Oaxaca.

... part of it too also has to do with the fact that everything at home is so structured and routine for me, and I never really put myself into situations that stretch me or force me to get out of my comfort zone. Well being over here is as far out of my comfort zone as I can get! Not only are we in a continent where the vast majority of people speak little or no english, I'm also travelling with Fordy, dont get me wrong, he is a great guy, and I'd count him in my group of best ...

... the zoo, the Jardin Botanica, and many others. The street is also home to one of the most recognizable icons of Mexico City, the Golden Angel of Independence, within which many of Mexico's heros are buried. Upon our return to Olinca, it was time for food and...yes - you guessed it - basketball. Soon it was 2:30 and everyone went off with their host families.  Tomorrow we visit Teotihuacan - home to the ancient pyramids. Enjoy the pictures. 

... trip. When you don't speak a language fluently, you have to pay twice as much attention to make sure that the "si's" and "no's" fall in the right place. With my headache, I had a hell of a time surviving this trip especially while during this time Barbara was sleeping fitfully in the back seat. Furthermore, sometimes it's good not to have any knowledge of the language spoken. All that ...

... is a torta with my name on it very, very nearby. <br><br>Here's the ordeal with arriving at Benito Airport and consequently getting out of it: you can either take the subway into the city (20 pesos) which involves at least two trains plus transfers depending on where you're going and a lot of walking to get to in the first place- not to mention having to fight crowds, watching out for pickpockets, getting your backpack across the turn stall, etc. Or you ...

... the woman behind the desk felt sorry for us or if she was scared for her life but she decided to waived the $100 fee after we had told her that we had no money to pay as our wallet had just been stolen. It was more the inconvenience of not having any money, lucky we had drawn out a large amount that would last us a couple of days that was not inside the wallet but kept separately in my laptop case. The nuisance of having to report all your credit cards missing, the ...

... how much I believe but there is only one survivor of the family and now the house is boarded up and there is barbed wire on the top and a sign saying no entry. Although some one told me other day you go and look around the house as it is famous but I am not sure if I want to go just yet although I does sound interesting. Anyhow the good news is we are moving in two weeks time just down the road into a bigger house, that means less there is ...

spending time with fabi's family, in their ice cream parlor and in their chicken shop, i truly felt at home. like my own, in adelaide, her relatives had a tendency to ignore rejections of generosity. for instance, when you walk into my ma's house, she will automatically offer you something to eat. if you politely decline the offer, she will tell you - i'll just make you a quick sandwich. seeing as you already had lunch, though, you're likely to reject the sandwich ...
