57 Days in Mexico - Final count down

Another lovely sun shining day in Mexico City, The weather is to die for, not too hot neither is it too cold. It rains in the evenings mostly which is lovely as it reduces the pollution in the air and the water cleans the streets.

Well due to technical difficulties with the internet cafe and the fact I didnt realise I saved my last blog just as a draft and the other one vanished without a trace while typing it I havent blogged  for awhile. The internet connection here seems to be mas o menos, so so, on facebook it seems to randomly pick and choose which of my messages it sends anyway I suppose  I´ll just start from when I arrived here in Ventanilla and what has happened up until now I´m here about four weeks so its gonna be a long blog folks.

57 Days/8 Weeks in Mexico

Hola,

Buenos Dias, 

Not sure where to start exactly as my experience here, has at times left my mouth wide open in amusement or literally made me feel like holding my heart in my hands with fear.

Well I´m just about finished my first week in Mexico. Its my 5th day in Oaxaca and I´m finished school for the weekend. Myself and Mary have spanish classes monday to friday in a language school here. Its a beautiful little school with palm trees, mango trees, its very scenic but then you go outside the gates into the middle of a busy intersection, the traffic is hectic here following traffic signals seems optional. The classes are really relaxed and small numbers.

My impressions after two months in Mexico

Mexico: Drugs, gangs, pollution and problems on the border to the USA. Or that is what we know about this country through the daily news. But my impression of Mexico while my first two months is different. The country is colorful, has a lot of great traditions, lot of diversity in landscape, food and music and people here are very open minded and nice and they enjoy to introduce you to their cultura and their history with its festive days.

Mexican Adventures (and misadventures) Part II

I’m really enjoying life here in Mexico and even though its extremely different to Dublin, I feel very much at home here. Its very easy to fall to Mexico’s charm and feel like you never want to leave.
