Happy New Asshole

I had a very nice New Year´s Eve but it was very different from what I´ve done before. Every year, I go out to the club or a bar and gat pretty drunk with my friends, but this year it was a Mexican way. Apparently, here you spend it with familyly at first and then later on at night to head out to meet up with your friends. And so we did. The family part started around 11pm and lasted a bit over three hours. I was a bit nervous at first but once I got there it was fine. We drunk some alcohol and ate. I´ve learned how to say happy new year in Spanish to survive midnight. However when I was saying it to my friend´s father I twisted anio into ano which changed the whole meaning from Happy New Year to Happy New Asshole :) There awkward silence for a bit but once they realized what happened everyone just had fun with it. Later on at night we met some friends and kept on drinking until 6am.

We also went to his nice town about an hour away from Queretaro, where we walked around and relaxed. Today, I got up early in the morning to catch a bus to Mexico City. Then I took a taxi to another bus terminal to jump on a bus to Chiapas which is a state all the way in the south bordering Guatemala. I´ll start with San Cristobal de Las Casas, but first I need to get there. My bus leaves in about 2h, and it will take about 14h.
