I’ll make this chapter actually much shorter than planned, because I’m leaving to Cancun tomorrow morning and I have to go to sleep soon! Good stuff about climate and accents coming soon in the next post, I know it's hard but try to be pacient and don't cut your wrists just yet.
Week 36 – 6.-12.9.
The whole week went pretty much with the same pattern as the week before: Sports, hanging out with friends and doing school stuff way too late. On Friday night we went to play poker with Diego, which was chill until the very end, when I had my first big cultural conflict here in Mexico. I don’t want to talk about it too much here, but let’s just say that some things that these guys value high doesn’t just make any practical sense and it’s really hard to explain that to them. I’m guess I’m too rational and Finnish for being a local among these guys. However, this situation was the first really weird one and but mostly I’ve had a really good time with them!
On Saturday I went to do some capoeira for 3 hours in the morning and after that I went with my Mexican friend Viri (who I got to know already in Finland) to a grill party. There were only Mexican girls and gay guys with me, but the food was really freaking good and I had a really good time there! After that I went with Amy and Rouven to a live bar – Old Jack’s. The place was packed and I was with a car, but we had nevertheless good time there.
On Sunday we went to see a local market. It resembled really much all the markets I've been to in Asia, including lots of animals, food, really useless crap and women's underwear. I bought swimming shorts (with 0% discount after 10 minutes of bargaining, I'm out of shape it seems..), a light to my car and peanuts.

After the market we went to really UG coffee place, which we found after 10 minutes of searching. It was so cool and I had my first really good cup of coffee AND tee there (which took about 15 mins to preparate). We ate also some homemade pizza there, which was also delicious. I'm certainly going there again, if I ever find the place..

I told you guys already something about our plans for the Mexican 200th independence (and 100th birthday of political revolution in 1910, forgot to mention that..). Our original plan was to head south, but there was a big flood down south that could have ruined our roadtrip so we decided not to take the risk. Instead, we looked at some cheap flights and booked em pretty ex tempore to Cancun! Lots of

We were only 3 at the beginning, but other people got apparently jealous and now we're like 15 going there. We'll be staying in our own group of 6 for the most time though, but I want to have a big gathering some day too!
I hope that the trip will be cool, at least the photos look pretty cool. We will be back on next Wednesday 22.9, so my next blog update will be coming shortly after that I think. Hope to also finally add some pics to Facebook too. And if I don't make it back, I just promised my bocho to my "uncle" here, sorry guys.
But anyway..
That was all folks, see ya!
