¡Cambiar!

Yes- I lost weight!


After recently a friend of mine posted a picture where you can see me without a proper haircut and with a few pounds less I can assure everyone: I AM FINE! :)

First of all- the picture was taking during a discussion panel about the recent activities of US-American authorities in regards to the massiv deportation of undocumented immigrants. That is usually a topic for which it is not so common to be optimistic and happy.
Secondly I haven´t been to a haircut yet since it doesn´t matter: there is no fu*** gay man close here!!!
And thirdly- yes: the diets here are reduced. Rice, beans and hot water instead o a soda for the meals is not a rarity and part of my daily nutrition. But since I have gained some pounds a year ago when I quited smoking (Yes- 1 Year ago!) I don´t mind so much to loose it again.

Clonar la tarjeta


Finally after almost 6 weeks the first misfortune happened: very common here in Guatemala my credit card got cloned! Being without cash in the rural area was actually pretty annoying and freaked me out. However, thanks to Matze and Western Union the problem got solved...For everyone who is traveling to Guatemala: be careful with using your cards! Even those ATMs secured by private security companies 24/7- they are not safe! When the president of Guatemala is corrupt- why shouldn´t be a security officer...

Sorry Will: I would have loved to go with you to Lake Attilan! Let´s meet in Manchester or visit me in Berlin!!

Coming to an end


Tomorrow will start my last week at PLQ. I am very sad but also happy for the experience, the friends I made and the Spanish I´ve learned. I decided to stay for my final week up in the mountain school since the environment, the class mates, teachers, coordinators and local families are unique. That means my online access is still reduced, but that way I can use the time to reflect on the impressions made and further open my mind cuffs.

Something new


But- every ending means another beginning: in 12 days my time here in Guatemala will be over- and my vacation in San Francisco will begin! My dear friends in San Francisco: I haven´t had proper food, liquors, others substances, movies, commerce and SEX in 2 months-

be prepared!!
