Despite my reluctance and the many failed attempts to persuade my parents against going to San Luis Potosi, I was pretty much forced to go with the whole family to my brother´s son´s First Communion. I was kinda pissed off on the way there, especially considering that it took us an hour an a half to make it to the highway thanks to the ridiculously dense traffic jam. But for some strange reason, everything started to get better and better as time went by, and the trip proved to be quite enjoyable. Althought there´s absolutely NOTHING to do in San Luis (can´t buy beer after 9 pm,for example) I had a great time with the family, especially pulling endless pranks on my cousin. The weather was perfect, and it was a great change from Mexico City´s weather, which isn´t that bad,but it´s just that it doesn´t stop raining these days. Anyway, I guess there isn´t much I can say about the trip; the odds of something exciting or unusual happening in San Luis are pretty much nil.

I´ll carry on with the job hunting this week. Hopefully something comes up soon. And once again, I feel something big is coming up quite soon,hopefully it´s something good.

Today there was a huge protest in Mexico City against the rising crime and kidnapping levels. Seriously guys, this place is getting really scary these days. A statistic came out recently saying that Mexico City is the the world´s 2nd place for kidnappings. How scary is that? So at the end, around 2.5 million people ended up going to the protest, everyone dressed in white,and it was a really touching scene, especially in a city like this one where there is no sense of unity of any kind. Too bad the authorities won´t do anything based on what happened today, but who knows, maybe one or two of those corrupt assholes thinks about it for a second and takes appropiate action. It´s very frustrating to live in a place where thieves and criminals have more rights than tax paying citizens, and where you just don´t know what can happen once you leave home.

Anyway, it wasn´t my point to make this post a depressing one! I guess I would just love to see something good happen in this city.
