... get smased on red wine and whisky and talk very loudly to me. The Indian one decided to tell me the history of the Taj Mahal. While I´m sure that is a fascinating subject, it´s not esepcially useful during a flight to Mexico. Luckily they both soon slipped into wine induced comas and left me to watch the **** selection of films. Unfortunately the one next to me later woke up, and discovered the music channel on the in flight entertainment system. He then proceeded to ´dance´in his chair ...

... up. Locals obviously know when to stay in because we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. In order to settle our bill, I had to run in the down-pour to a bank to get cash, as apparently the rain had disconnected the credit card service.  We also had a few cocktails at a rather boring Salsa club as it was a Monday night, and again, the rain was horrendous.  However, we enjoyed our unique and different cocktails along with the 7 other people in the club.

There was a bit of revulsion associated with the &#8220;Yikes Factor&#8221; and generally it would rear its ugly head in some towns/ cities we visited once we got outside the &#8220;historical center&#8221;.

Finally, you are given a little piece of paper with your info and allowed to wander. <br><br>The Caracole was nothing but a row of buildings, and nobody really lives there. Instead, people take turns working the women´s craft-coop´s, in government offices, and doing special projects. Also in town is a large secondary boarding school.<br><br>The coolest part of the town is the amazing murals that cover all the buildings and relay the Zapatistas ...

... enforced. my closing statement, delivered with a slight tequila slur, went a little something like this - the reason i left australia for mexico was to learn a little more about this planet and the direction humanity is taking in this important age. as the united states of america systematically destroy any chance we have of living in a peaceful society, by capitalising on war and financing brutal dictatorships, i thought some time in mexico might help ...
