Guadalajara is a huge city, the locals claim anywhere from 4-8 million people (so I will say 5 to be safe), and it is definitely not what I expected a big Mexican City to be (not that I had any preconcieved notions, mind you).
Although many may see Mexico as a Country full of poor and uneducated people, I have found exactly the opposite. Maybe its because of the area I work in, but the people I work with are just as much if not more studious and wealthy than people I have run into back home.
Guadalajara reminds me of Los Angeles with a language barrier. The streets are busy, the cars will run you over if you are not careful, and the buses are constantly standing-room only. Something a Calgarian with her own car never thought about before coming here. Thank God for humility...:)
The information on these pages will hopefully educate you, and if not, at least you will be entertained by my typical "tourist" moves, and my hilarious and endearing stories (at least humor me and pretend, ok pal???)...anyway, back to my charismatic and witty repartoire...
- Pros:Beautiful areas, great culture
- Cons:Humans are potential roadkill, lots of people
- In a nutshell:Will be back...

Got a real laugh at your comment about everyone wearing neck braces. I just got back and have never seen so many neck braces in my life!
wow interesting and quite fun too. perhaps I will have to remember the tips eh.
enjoyed your Guadalajara Page before I went to Guadalajara last week -- helpful thanks
Enjoyed looking around your page. I've been to Mexico a few weeks ago, but the northern part.
Ahhoooh! Werewolves of Calgary...
You are so right about Mexico! It is not nearly as poor or as uneducated as people think. I think the main differance is that there is a minute middle class. The majority of Mexico is either rich or poor. Btw, Great tips;)
Becky dear, what a great page, there is everything in it, Yummi ice creams, and chees *I feel so hungry now LOL* and fun tips and slim humor, you did great ;-D
great site, photos and comments ! shushi in Guadalajara... (???)
I am reading your words, and I am into what they say. Neckbraces ....they make alot of sense, and they look fabulous.
aiiiyaiiiyayaiiii! Great Tips and Pages! Whenever I'm feeling down I can always count on you to cheer me up! Thank You for that! ;-)
