Guadalajara

Last weekend I was at Guadalajara to visit my cousin, and had to go to the US Embassy there. Many of you might know that Guadalajara is not only known as the gay capital of Mexico, but it is also well known for having abundant amount of girls. Yes, pretty girls. To some of you, I have been complaining about the girls here in Atalcomulco...that they all look...like...like...men? For once in Mexico, I actually saw some girls that looked like actresses.

Girls were the most interesting thing to me in Guadalajara because I did not go anywhere else besides eat, movie and mall with my cousin. My cousin doesn't like to go out that much, so after work he'll head back home and log in to the realm of World of Warcraft....even on Friday and Saturday night! So there you go...most of the time in Guadalajara, I did nothing but stayed at home and watch TV. So.....no pictures this week!

Friday after work, I started driving to Guadalajara. As usual, everyone on the road was speeding...so I HAD to follow. As I was close to Morelia, about after 2 hours of driving...lucky me...I was stopped by a Federal Police. I pulled my car over...as the police was walking towards my car...

Police, "Buenas tardes..." (Good Afternoon)

Before he was able to finish the whole sentence, I said ,"Mi no habla español." (I don't speak spanish). In my mind I was thinking, noooooo problem...I don't speak spanish and he doesn't speak english...no communication...therefore he'll let me go.

Then, Police, "Oh...you speak english?"

Damn! What do you expect me to say? All foreigners should be able to speak english in Mexico...common sense! Maybe I should say "Babi! Aku tak faham langsung!?!?"....So, being nice and a responsible citizen of Malaysia, I said "YES".

Police, "Good. You drive fast. You drive One Four Four Km/hr....eh...here...maximum...one hundred and ten km/hr. Can I see license and registration?"

So yeah...he ended up giving me a ticket and took my number plate away. Yes...they take your number plate! To make sure you actually go to the police station to pay up your fine. Unlike other police here in Mexico, Federal Police don't take bribes.

That was my last weekend, didn't do anything in a lively city and my encounter with a police that spoke english!
