Mucho gusto

- meaning both 'delighted to meet you' and 'I like it a lot' (this food, this country, whatever) - mucho gusto is definitely the new loud, as I've now reached my destination; thus having no more use for my beloved ¿Donde esta la parada para XXXX?; settling in with a local huuuge family yestereve, I am now forced into actually trying to converse with people, who, by the way, are really nice. Currently the conversations mostly consist of me answering Noruega, that being the end of the conversation, as we have little more to talk about that I could possibly understand; the rate of proactivity - that means I pose the question - is about 1 in 20, I guess. The town of Todos Santos really seems off the beaten path; even though there are language schools here, the tourists don't exactly pop out behind every corner - so far I've seen three whites - and what you could call bars seem to close at nine; somewhat limiting the party scene, at least in the form I'm used to. This is hardcore Maya territory, some of them don't even seem to understand Spanish, though there are a lot of Spanish descendants here as well, including my family. The Maya garments are fabulous and colorful, which reminds me, I got the card-reader, but uploading one photo seems to take half an hour or so; the internet connection here is crap and relatively expensive so you'll probably have to butter yourselves up with patience (sic) with regard to photos; all the greater the challenge for me: my writing will have to be the spray paint decorating the faculties of y'all. A vivid and colorful - color?, what color; I really have been Americanised - hey, wait a minute, it seems I'm a swinger - anyone understanding what the hell that was about, five points to you... as I was saying, a colourful description shall be forthcoming tomorrow or something, now I'm sick of this slow-operating shit and will bid you all good day; talking about sick, I just bought my first bogus water, ie retapped, which mens with any luck you'll have me writing the next entry with fever, hallucinations and stuff, all the better for the setback in entertainment value which seems to have struck my blog entries of late.

Ye olde and withering servant,

Merryus

Tjena, håper du har det bra. For ordens skyld kan jeg rapportere at jeg på lørdag tok årets første runde på kjekstad. Banen har åpnet 3 uker før normalen og med samtlige greener i sommermodus. Utrolig bra standard for årstiden, sansynligvis over 1 mnd før skjema. Hvordan er green-fee prisene der du befinner deg?
