I am now in Guadarajala in a resort hotel located on a hill. Guadarajala is a city on a mountain which means it has a cool climate. I have spent a week in Monterrey Mexico and it is hot as hell at 40 deg C, but Guadarajala is a cool 26 deg C.
The journey only become more pleasant when i took the small jet from Monterrey to Guadarajala. I had a long week with long working hrs and slept only for 3 hrs every day in Monterrey. While suffering from jetlag, feeling sleepy at days and not being able to get into sleep mode at night, i still have to meet the customer's management in a meeting room with an agenda that is filled with heated arguments and negotiations. The discussion reached a stalemate finally on Friday, two days before i am due to leave Guadarajala on Sunday and I activated my manager and directors to bring the negotiation to their level for the next meeting. I finally get longer hours of sleep on Saturday night, although i still worked for 8 hrs on Saturday.
Not longer than a minute after the plane departed from the airport to Guadarajala, i can see from the window, the green mountains and rivers below and white clouds hanging in the air like cotton. After leaving the airport, i headed to the hotel immediately. I was really shocked to find that the hotel is like a huge Spanish villa when my cab driver reached the hotel. It is located on a hill that offers a great view of the city. After entering the room, i was overwhelmed by the size of the room and its interior deco and wondered if the company had booked a wrong hotel for me. I have not stayed in a hotel room this big and offers a balcony view of the hill. Check out Hotel El Tapatio if you come to Guadarajala.
After settling down, i took a ride by hotel transport to the art market town nearby, Tlaquepaque. I used to think that Mexico is boring when i was in Monterrey. But my impression was completely reversed when I reached Tlaquepaque, a small town like Ubud in Bali Island that sells fantastic art piece by Mexico aborigines, and littered with good restaurants. Tourists were walking slowly and Spanish is heard everywhere, and i guess i am the only Asian in this town. I bought a painting by Mexican aborigines for 4 USD and 2 red indians head scuplture for 3 USD. I controlled myself hard to avoid getting into a shopping spree as Mexican art is really beautiful. They have tiger heads made of tiny colorful beads planted into clay, beautifully painted cross with jesus christ and without, Mexican peasants paintings and sculptures. I bought an Eiffel Tower in Paris Charles de Gaule Airpot for 10 USD , and i will transfer in Holland airport on Tuesday. I better control myself to avoid bursting my luggage. But i took tonnes of photos of this beautiful town, their doors and buildings are really unique and very mediterranean.
Mexican ppl are a mixture of Spanish, French, Red Indians, etc and most of them are beautiful looking ppl like other Latin Americans, and stunningly goodlooking young boys and girls can be found everywhere. The tv shows always show half naked hunks, swim suit babes like a beauty pageant contest. But it is really a Catholic country where no porn is allowed, no abortions, so the tv is quite boring for a hotel, hehehe. Although born as beautiful people, they always turn themselves into a pig after 30 years due to their large intake of foods and high calories cuisine. The men and ladies older than 30 are always plump and 30% of the ppl is obese.
That's all for today and i hope piggy is doing fine as there is no mail and call from him for a week already.
