First it’s good to tell that I’m not that qualified to write about crimes and violence in Central America. Things I’m about to write about are just small piece of the bigger picture. Consider this as my opinion or narrow minded version of the Dark Side. I’m going to tell you about the bad shit [...]
You can find my new photo gallery from here or just click the histogram icon on the left. I think I’m having a mini-burn-out. Good time to go hiking for 5 days. See you after Thanksgiving dinner. Adios!
Here’s some more motion pictures from the ranch where I was working. We collected so honey and things didn’t really go that well at first. The second time things went smoothly. I think that’s it from the WWOOFing for this time. I had lot’s of more videos of the place but those clips will have [...]
Woofing 2 and a half weeks in the state of Chiapas in Mexico was a great experience. For those who don’t know what WWOOF is about: WWOOF is a world wide network – It started in the UK in 1971 and has since become an international movement that is helping people share more sustainable ways [...]
The beaches of Tulum are quite stunning. Soft sand everywhere and clear ocean for snorkeling. You can rent a cabañas from the beach or stay at the hostels that are located about 2 kilometeres from the beach. Maybe 500 meteres from this place were the Mayan ruins of Tulum. Beautiful ruins right by the ocean. [...]
There comes a point when not even washing a shirt makes the smell of concentrated sweat dissapear. This has happened to me before. The shirts I used for kickboxing could not be used outside our tatami. If I happened to wear one of those t-shirts on any other occasion I had to very careful since [...]
Lopussa itetehty video normipäivästä Meksikossa. Luen kuitenkin ensin kuinka nämä lammikot syntyi. Luonnonmuokkaamien maauimaloiden syntyhistoria 65 miljoonaa vuotta sitten Mount Everestin kokoinen meteoriitti iskeytyi maahan reilun 70 000 kilometrin tuntivaihdilla, tuhoten 70% kaikesta elämästä. Samassa rytäkässä kuolivat myös dinosaurukset. 70-luvulla PEMEX, meksikolainen öljy-yhtiö tutki Yucatanin niemimaata öljyn toivossa. Yritys löysi merestä jälkiä kraaterista, joka oli [...]
(I wrote this on September 4th) Today I left Merida Behind. I visited Uxmal and it was a gorgeous place. No words of mine will do justice for it. Merida is a nice city. It’s the capital of Yucatan state. To my liking, after returning from the ruins of Uxmal, it seemed terrible polluted. The [...]
Some years back someone organized a vote so that we could have 7 new wonders of the world. Well Chichen Itza was one of the lucky winners. The price: More tourism. These ruins are impressive and the area where all the ruins are located is huge. A lot to see and a lot of tourism [...]
These are probably my favourite ruins in the state of Yucatan. There aren’t that many tourists and it’s a really impressive place. I recommend taking some stuff to keep mosquitos away during the rainy season and lots of water. It’s a sweaty place in summer. Read more about Uxmal from Wikipedia.
