Holà people!

So I got my first exam back today, I got an 8!!!
The subject was physics, I got a fucking 8 out of 10 in physics, PHYSICS!!!!!
And acording to my Ylias, I think that is how you write his name, I got the same in Math.
It is the best grade I have ever gotten in my life, maybe it has something with the fact that we only go to 6 in Norway.

Let's see well what else have I done?
Yeah I pierced my ear yesterday, I have been wanting to do it for over ten years, but I never got around to doing it and my mother didn't want me to so it never happend, but now I'm on the other side of the world.;)
Since yesterday was the 1 month anniversary of my arrivel her in Mexico, I figured this is the time to pierce my ear.
What will I do for my 2 months anniversary?
Nothing probably, but who knows?

I was very worried about putting on much weigth here in Mexico, maybe a little girly, but I don't what to be fat, it's not me. So far so good, found a wight here this morning and think I actually have gone down a kilo or something.

Been having some trouble with the internet connection again,l so the first part is 2 days old.

Today is Friday:) TGIF (Thank God It's Friday)

The plans for today are.

First we are going to a Bar called the Beer Factory, to have some beers, only a few of use are 18, but this is Mexico so who cares.
After that we are going to a party at an All Girls Chatolic High School!!!

God I love Mexico!

That's it for now

Holà

First of i have to tell you about my school here in Mexico, it has about 50 students, the oldest 20 and he is in the class above me, the younegst is about 13 I think. Inn my class there is only 5 sudent, me, my brother 2 girls (think i should have rememberd there names by now, but I don't) and Ylias a AFS-student from Belgum. That's my class

I must say this weekend has been very interesting.

To start of with a little of what I wrote on my cellphone yesterday, havn't quite found out who to update my blogg from my cell-phone, but I am working on it.

Riding shot-gun throu Mexico City, I do that a lot these days, it's a big city with a lot to see
and familie-members all over this gigantic city.
This time I have Low Rider in my ears, damn that's a chatchy song.
My head is filled with the intoxicating polluted air of Mexico City.
Life coulden't be much better.

The weekend started on tursday because of the independence day, we got the day of from school on friday and no classes on tursday.

Friday was the independence day here in Mexico, 196 years since Mexico declared there independence from Spain,
Because of that we had a party at school on tursday and no school on friday, We used the day to sleep in a bit, go to Six Flags http://www.sixflags.com/intl/intl_mexicocity.html and party a bit with the familie.

This is me and my new brothers.

Inn Six Flags I took some crazy rides and eat a big burger (Western double bacon cheese burger) with chips and a coke, it was good.

I've been to the top of that gigantic metal thingy, and it was scary and I mean scary.

After that, we cruised into town to the Azul stadium, there we bougth tickets from a guy henging out outside of the statium.
We payed 300 pesos for each ticket, that is twice as much as what the ticket actualy cost, but hey they don't call it black market for nothing.
To me it was worth it, they said that if we where to buy them the way they you are supose to be bougth we had to stay in line forever and much more. so for 150 pesos it was worth it.

After that since it was the independence day we had to party so we went to my new grand-parents, to have a few beers and some tequila and to watch Vincent Fox's last shout.
Vincent Fox is the President of the country I am now living in.
Is term is up in Desember, so this is his last Independence day as presidente, people say he was a good president so they don't what him to go, but he has to because you can only sit on term as president her in Mexico and then it is over.
The man to take over after Fox is a man by the name of Felipe Calderon.
There has been a lot of trouble worth this years election, I have trying to understand it but, after sevral atempts I have given up.


Americas vs Cruz Azul

The next day we went to a fotball match, actually it is a local game since both teams are form Mexico.
I went to the game without a favorit team, my new brothers have Cruz Azul as as there favorite team, but my new father has Americas as his favorit so in this house that is a regular discusion.
The game was at Cruz Azul stadium, so after buying a Cruz Azul cap, driking beer form a Cruz Azul beer mug and ofcourse seeing the Cruz Azul Cheerleaders I was sold.
That is the good thing about going to a fotball match in Mexico, you can drink in the stadium, they can smoke to, but since I don't do that I don't like it.
But the feeling you get sitting there with a cold beer in you hand, watching a game with over 40 000 other people you can't beat that.
So the game ended with Cruz Azul 1 Amercas 2, so my father was the only happy on on the way home, but hey I got BEEER!!




On the way home from the game we stopped of at one of the many food-cartens, this one sold so form of korn on a stick with butter, mayo and chilli.
It tasted pretty wired, but I have to try new things, that's life.

I have tasted better.

I must say I'm enjoying my stay here in Mexico, as the title of the new Paperboys album ''So far, so Good''

I actually brougth that with me(I think)

The thing is not much has change in my life since comming her to Mexico, maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have been here in this familie for 3 weeks now. I have my lap-top, and on a good day I can connect to the internet, through the neighbours wireless:D So I can still keep in touch with the people I want to keep in touch with, thank God for the internet, who would I have been without it?

And as every fucking Sunday here in my new familie and country we have to go church every sunday and for a kid like me raised without the help off religion. I can probably count on my fingers how many times I have been to church in my life. I have been to church once in my life because I wanted to and that was in Poland and they had some damn nice paintings. But you get used to it (I hope).

That all for now, been working on this for almost 2 days now, but the neighbours internet isn't all that stabil.

Hasta luego

As I'm driving throu Mexico City, listening to KISS with Detroit Rock City on my new brother's iPod. I'm in my best suit, on my why to a wedding, my second wedding so far in life and my first Mexican one.
I'm looking out throu the window, looking out at all the concrete blocks buildings as far as my eye can see.
It is then that I realise this is the city I live in, this is my new home for the next 10 months.

While all this is going on in my head, my new father is blasting Y.M.C.A throu the speakers.
And I'm writing this on my cell phone, upload it when i get home.

I'm not an English man in New York, I'm a Norwegian exchangestudent in Mexico City.

This is Runar rapporting from Mexico


Sorry for the late update, internet her isn't exactly the best, maybe it's because we take ours from the neighbours:)

So I have been in Mexico for almost 10 days now and life is good i must say.
The people are friendly. My familie are great I have been leaving with them for a week now I am very happy i ended up here.
During the last 10 days I have travled to the otherside of the world, where I am now. Over 24 hours from my old home to my new one.
During this last week I have been living in one of the worlds biggest and most dangerous citys.
I have seen somethings, not to mention tasted a lot of diffrent things and I mean a lot of difrent things. I have learnt that tacos isn't tacos, tortillas isn't tortillas and what we call Mexican food in Norway isn't mexican food, it is Tex-Mex and Tex-Mex is from Texas and the northen parts of Mexico.


This is how they protect there property where i live now, don't want to jump that wall

I went to a bookstore with my new father the other day and there they had valeys to park your car, to me that is a little strange, but maybe that is just me.
Well what else have i seen. Yhea the traffic, it is crazy so many cars in such a small area. In D.F. (Districto Federal) with an area of 1,479 km² alone there lives 8 million people.
For a norwgian little boy from the country side that's a lot.


This is my new home for the next 10 months

Today was a interesting day, first we went to church, for me who can almost count the times I have been to a church on my hands.
This was all new to me, the curch in Norway is luthern.
Here in Mexico they are chatolic, that means you get to eat the boy of crist, if you now what I am talking about.
If not you havn't seen a deasant american movie where the go to church.
It means you get in a line, and go to the padre(preast) and he pust something in your mouth, whitch is sopouse to represent the body of crist, I have now idea what is was and i don't what to know eigther.
I remember standing in church, we had to stand because there where now seats open.
I was looking around at the people in the chruch and I was thinking this is religion?
Let us leave it at that.

The other thing we did today was to go to Wall-Mart. You know those big stors where they have everything, and it is cheap, but it is so big that it takes forever to find what you are looking for.
Yhea that one.
Let's just say I like the small shop's, atleast small compeard to this one, they said it was a small Wall-Mart, to me it didn't look small at all.
At this wall-mart do you have any idea how much they where charging for a bottle of Bacardi?
I'll tell you it is crazy.
66 pesos, that is about 40 norwegian krones, 38,7 to be exact or 6,25 US dollars.
That is crazy her in Norway we have to pay atleast 400 pesos for a bottle of that.

I will come with more the next time, but now it is food

Until next time this is Runar repporting from Mexico

Hasta luego
