Hey everybody, it´s Jay here. I normally contribute in an indirect, passenger-seat sort of way, but I thought I´d come in and make a post. Just a couple of things.
We´re currently in Mexico City, where the food is ridiculously amazing, the city is surprisingly clean and safe (we commented to ourselves while walking around that it feels on par with Seoul or any of the South American cities we visited), the metro system has nice little icons, and there is Korean food. We could definitely return and work here.
We´ve been attempting to find a movie theater here that shows The Spirit, as I really want to see it (along with Watchmen, which I can hardly wait for), but so far to no avail. Which is ironic, because there are signs and adverts for it up all over the city.
The days thus far have been relaxing and explorative. In the morning, we jog whenever possible, which is especially easy in our current hostel, as literally right down the street is a park designed for joggers, paths laid out and a vendor selling fresh fruit refrescos right at the gate. We´re currently up to a straight 28 minute jog, with the goal being 30. It´s a bit insane, going out and running almost every morning (especially while staying in Valparaiso, on top of quite a steep hill and next to a really smelly ocean), but results are starting to show in that we´re not completely winded by the end anymore.
In addition to the small park, the area we´re staying in has some amazing restaurants only a few blocks away, and this internet cafe I´m typing from that we´ve frequented every night since our arrival. Our hostel is Coyote Flaco Backpackers, which, if any travelers are reading, we heartily recommend.
It´s winter here, which is funny, so the locals will often bundle up in scarves and a light sweater, while we roam the city in our t-shirts and trusty chocos wrapped around our feet, happily chugging our bottled water and squinting into the sun.
I´ve been researching options for recording my music, and am currently getting a bit antsy to start trying them all out. I´ve decided to try and have a CD written, recorded, produced and mixed by the end of our next year in Korea, so we´ll see if I can accomplish that. Here´s hoping!
That´s about all for now, really. I have a few specific topics I´d like to write about, which I will, but all in due time. For now, just a last note to say we´re loving the city, I´m extremely glad we decided to travel to this region of the world after a hectic year in Korea, y aún es mi español muy mal, pero trato a aprender la lenguaje y usar con la gente, Jessie, y yo mismo tambien.
