It’s nearly time. I’m getting nervous and inccredibly excited. I’m leaving work, and arranging to see all my mates for the last time in half a year. I’m insuring, stocking up, and getting ready to ship out. I’m going to Mexico. I’m going to teach sixth form kids English. I’m ever so slightly terrified. All of this, and in the middle I realise that this trip is only half about me, at most. I’m going so that I can give kids a chance to practise their english, and to improve their chances of getting a job in a place that’s unjustly ruled by american business. To show how ridiculous the dominance and self importance of the USA, I only have to look as far as my flights. I can’t fly through the states, because for a trip of more than 90 days I would need a visa, in spite of the fact that I would be in Mexico. That’s right, the government of the USA has such an inflated sense of it’s own status that they seem to feel that if I fly through their country, that’s a threat to the republic, and that I would want to stay there. God only know why, I can’t think of many places I’d less like to be than the parts of the USA that border on Mexico.
And if anyone knows anything about La Ruta Maya, please leave a comment!

ok i have decided i feel sorry for you as you have not got any comments on your site. HOWEVER, I still think your pun is awful (can you guess who this anonymous comment is from yet? Mr Shakespeare) . Also, I think you are the only person who can start a blog about being excited about an exotic trip and end it with a rant about the USA. Anyways I hope you enjoy your trip lots and lots, and that you spend the majority of it in a drunken stupor at the very least haha. xxxx
