So trips to the state of San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas is over. Feeling light and hungry as hell thanks to a diarrhea. I promised photos of the trip but as usual I have to postpone publishing for the time being. I think I’ll do a flash video out of them, or maybe not.
Edit: What [...]
Great video about war photographer James Nachtwey’s life.
Link to the video on Google video
Also if you want a shorter video of Nachtwey’s work you can check out the speech he gave at the TED conference. It’s great.
At the moment I’m spending my time in city of Zacatecas where I came to stay after four [...]
Interesting movie although they mentioned the word ‘money’ too many times. Since there is always a limited amount of money, rich people are rich at the expense of the poor.
Last Sunday we went to some waterfalls just outside Guadalara. The entrance was 50 pesos (3 euros).

One Mexican friend had his farewell party last night. It was something else…
Ilmeisesti se kesä on nyt tullut, koska kaksi merkittävää tapahtumaa osui samalle viikonlopulle. Korkkasin juuri leijonan ja askin Panttereita, sillä jotkut kliseet ovat vain sen arvoisia.

Juhannus siis tuli, mutta ei se vaan ulkomailla ole sama juttu. Kun on toisella puolella planeettaa [...]

Oli kyseessä sitten liittovaltionpoliisi tai rutisevia shimanon vaihteita vääntelevä pyöräpollari, niin 5 kiloa metallia suojaa rintaa ja selkää. Se saattaa kuulostaa pelottavalta, mutta Meksikon tapauksessa kyse taitaa olla enemmän politiikasta kuin itsesuojelusta.
Muutaman kuukausi sitten olin kotibileissä, kunnes päätin pistäytyä viereiselle aukiolle ottamaan kuvia. Siellä viereistä hallituksen rakennusta vartioiva pollari [...]
Wednesday afternoon, it’s steaming hot outside and I had just finished one more class of school. I was waiting for my friends and decided to just rest for a few minutes. There I was laying on bed gazing my white ceiling when I noticed a black widow (for what I know) in mid air. [...]
