I am leaving Oaxaca tonight. I have been here now for just a few days and it is really nice. I like this place much more than DF but I never like big cities that much anyhow so this is no surprise. The funny thing about my trip thus far is that I am not really taking in the tourist things like not going to the museums or inside all the churches or whatever..apparently I should eat mole while Im here or buy my mezcal here or eat fried crickets but oh well....I just want to get to Guatemala at this point. I am sick of being so shitty at Spanish and when I get to Antigua I am going to start going to school and stay with a family. It is much, much cheaper to attend school there instead of Mexico. I looked at prices for schools here in Oaxaca and its about 400 more dollars to do the same thing...now the quality of the school or the teachers might not be as good I dont know but doubtful because what I read of the school I am interested in it is a very popular choice.
So, I am going to be staying with a 52 year old man in Chiapas when I get there he wants to talk about the new law in Arizona and honestly I dont have much to say about it. I dont agree with it just like I dont agree with almost all of Arizonas choices regarding laws and financial interests. What can I say about it? no estoy de acuerdo porque el gobernador de Arizona es pinche estupida...lo que sea. no estoy ahi. I have had some good conversations with some people that I have met about politics and society on a larger scale and it has been good...I am frustrated by the language barrier on a daily basis, however. It prevents me from making friends pretty much. i no speak your language you no speak mine....Gracias Dios por la musica! I need to find a case for my guitar before I break it...´-knock on wood- and yeah I leave tonight at 830 for a twelve hour bus ride! however i got the top of the line bus which came out to a whopping 650 pesos not that much really like 50 bucks or so and if you think about a 12 hour bus ride in a really nice bus that is muy economico.
I guess I should apologize for my poor usage of the paragraph and indentation and all the other elusive grammatical implements I avoid. Out of laziness maybe out of carelessness most likely.
I want to write about something important but there doesnt seem to be anything worth writing about. I met two people since I got to Oaxaca that are rad. Sylvester and sophia-sorry if I spell these wrong..they are awesome people probably the coolest people I have met yet..I wish we had got to know each other more but maybe if I head back to Cuernavaca I can see them. Sylvester is super interesting and alive he is a writer too and I feel inspired when I meet people like him and sophia is incredibly hermosa as well as super inteligente they both are beautiful and smart people I am fortunate to have met them...
So I might have already mentioned this but the people here are really genuine and polite but not too much like I feel people are cordial and will act accordingly to be respectful BUT that is it. no more no less. like I think it is going to be hard to establish meaningful relationships or friendships in general until i get better at the language and have more confidence to just start a conversation with someone. I am still kinda apprehensive about getting out there and talking to people like I havent been going out at night to bars or whatever mostly because I dont know where to go and also the language barrier fear blah blah blah.
I have been following the Suns wherever I go and it makes me feel really close to home to watch them even if it is in a hostel whereever i am and the commentators speak in spanish. too bad they lost in the last couple seconds last night...goddamn Artest and his one important shot of the night...well we can get back in game 6...dont have a choice.
its just about 2 in the afternoon here and i have 5 or 6 hours to kill not sure where to go or what to do luckily my backpack is in storage at the hostel until i am ready to go to the bus station. i suppose i will look for a case for my guitar and maybe look inside some churches or museums..maybe eat some mole or have some hot chocolate or fried crickets...adios.
Did I mention sunburns peelin like crazy on my shoulders and back? did i mention that i fucking hate mosquitos? because my skin is peeling and its gross and i fucking hate mosquitos!
