Mexico begun the war of independence against the Spanish colonial power in 1810, led by the priest Miguel de Hidalgo.



As it is seen as inititated on the 16th of September this is now known as the Grito de Dolores, which is still repeated by the president and other local poltical leaders throughout Mexico, and this is the date for the official fiesta de la independencia.



The war for independence lasted for eleven years, and finally in 1821 Mexico was declared independent.

So, we've had the electricity gone for a while today, there is still no warm water - but poison is set out for the rat, so if we're lucky there will be rat-corpses lying around in a few days. Great. I love Europe. Ha - anyone else thinking Christer Sjögren, Sweden's own casanova... :P

Same every time I go somewhere - WHAT do I have to bring? ? ? Why is it so difficult...? At least there's not super much to choose from here, didn't bring that much after all. But still.

Btw found another thing i need. :P

What kind of place am I living in..? Really, this country is scarily different sometimes.

Apparently there is a 'rumour' going around that there will be some kind of narco settlements this weekend - so it would be a bad idea going to clubs etc. Well, I'll take that advice, have no wish of dying just yet. And this is also apparently something that 'happens every now and then'. Great.

Other thing - had three partial presentations today, so now I'm slowly dying from headache and tiredness.
