Today I thought I would give y'uns some more pics from my trip down to Mexico.
I've been guessing that this is the biggest water drilling rig I have ever seen.
It can't be drilling for oil as Pemex isn't on the scene.
If you can confirm it is for water, leave a comment, eh?
If you have never been to Mexico, the sunsets are some of the best in the world.
We get live music nearly every weekend.
Mexicans do love to have fun.
They eat good, too!
Ride with style.
Build their houses to withstand invasion.
Forget their hero's sacrifices, the graffiti calls him a puta.
A large majority of them make their money in their front yards.
Not always the best of plans, but when you don't have much idealism takes a back seat.
They take their freedoms where they can get them.
This fella came out and asked me why I was taking pics of his taking electricity for free, I told him because nobody would believe me if I didn't have pics.
He wasn't happy about it, but then, who would be?
If you want to join me in paradise by the main road, these apartments rent for 45usd a month, but I can get two meals a day and free electricity for about the same price at my buddy's house.
Have a perfectly peaceful day.
Keep working, stop paying.
No war, but the class war!!
Wow that looks like a great adventure. 45 a month is great too!
im a bit jelous to say the least.
:D
If folks knew what life here was really like, trump would need that wall to keep people in.
Im gonna laugh when they close the border and folks cant get out.
they already wont let us out. gotta have the papers to travel and shit.
I could easily see mexico keeping people out in a year too, people tend to wait till the last moment to migrate and shits only getting worse by the day
I haveca border crossing card, cheaper than a passport, but not good for flying.
The mexicans did look at it when i crossed, but didnt ask for a visa or anything.
They are playing the same game here as north of the border but with a fraction of the money and a population that doesnt like to be told what to do.
Last time i was here the cops travelled with two trucks and eight heavily armed men, now that is down to one and three, i figure they are running out of cash to pay the cops.
What with the collapse of the weed market, and all.
I didnt even think of the weed market after the legalization. i could see alot of growers moving to coca or poppies if that is the case. more then enough rich junkies to spend money on a hit or two.
do the cops fuck with you at all? how do you get internet?
after i finish the move im planning to make a mirco camper out of an old van. do you think i would get fucked with traveling there in it? what should i prep before the trip? if i dont got 100 bucks to pay off the cops for whatever am i fucked?
im so filled with american misinformation i dont know what is real and fake anymore. if your white and american you gona have your head cut off?
mexico is more of an opiton as for freedom compared to usa or canada, shits getting weird fast.
when you there can you download short stories and movies? if so i got some recomendations i ran across from my childhood i think you would love.
if so..........
12 min short story, original and just genious imo.
1995 take on the story but nothing to do with the original, more of taking the society and running with it insted of sticking to the original story.
still great in a way.
about as close to the original story as i can find in video form.
decent but still not the original.
bro git me a bit of time and if i dont end up in a cage i might be able to come and help/visit/stay after my main move.
i dont even have legal id right now. after ther move ima get id then pasport and explore, or thats my plan right now.
i am super jelous of your exploration and drive to create what you want to see changed in the world. i hope to join soonish
Gas is 4usd a gallon, so plan for that.
I got a border crossing card in dallas, it doesnt let you fly, and the local bank said their system wouldnt accept the number to change dollars to pesos, so my friend did it for me, but it is cheaper by 100usd, or so.
Change your money at the border, there is no advantage to holding dollars, unless you got enough to play the exchange rate game.
Figure 200usd a month for food and rent and you should have some left over each month.
Living in a van with no way to cook figure 4usd a day to eat in restaurants.
Last time i was here the transito(local traffic cops) stopped me a couple of times going through towns, the going rate was 200p, just pay it, its easier and only 12usd.
The federals stopped me a couple times but just wanted to look at my papers and never took the money i offered.
Going north there are checkpoints looking for visas, so get one at the border, last time it was 23 usd for a tourist visa, this time i am a wetback, but intend to get one that lets me work when my carnival friends come through town.
No checkpoints coming south, that i saw.
Internet is in the cibers, they are everywhere, most are 10p an hour.
17p to the dollar.
I pay 350p a month for wifi from the ciber in my neighborhood.
The violence is here, but if you stay out of the bars and uninvolved with the coke you gonna be ok.
Only bad people get hurt in mexico, so dont be one.
The good people rise up enmass when a good person gets hurt and shrug when a bad one does.
Nobody is going to pay much attention to you unless you bring it on yourself, the people here are like people everywhere, they just use different words for the same things.
We can discuss more when you get ready to go.
4 bucks a gallon isnt horrible, ive paid more.
lol
changing over money before over sounds like a smart idea. i would be cooking in my rig, plan on making a "micro solar stelth camper" so ill be able to do everything but shit in it basically. i mean i could shit in it but i would rather not. lol
12 bucks to avoid jail when stopped sounds awwesome. is it more they mess with you when driving or if a van was parked somewhere might they pull up on it just to fuck with it? lol
damn 23 bucks for a visa, thats hella badass.
Well sounds like a dream, after i make my move and get all my legal papers and sell the rv and buy a van ill prolly be asking you to find someone that will let me park on their land for a little.
:D
Lol bro, I said it on farcebook when Trumpety Trump was on about the wall in his election campaign, the wall is "to keep the suckers in" not out. :-)
Thats exactly why i got across when i did, the smart jews got out when the nazis came to power.
It isn't a drilling rig, it's a Mexican missile launcher, they're preparing to invade the U.S.
They're sending a payload of Monsanto genetically eng. corn, papaya and soy beans back to America...Gonna air-burst it over DC....
Omg, that is a clever disguise.
I wonder when they will have enough money to buy the rocket?
They've closed down a lot of cop shops, and their roving packs have shrunk, too.
Used to be there would be 8 heavily armed masked men in two trucks, but now all i see are three in one, and no masks.
Not one checkpoint coming south.
Only one going north in 800 miles.
This is what you get when the population rises up enmass against oppression,...
No offence but 45 usd a month... I guess you can not expect much?
Not that i need that much :)
cool post btw
peace
One chair, a table, and a bed would be the most you could hope for.
But, if you got time to kill, its hard to beat that deal.
For the first look i thought it was some kind of antena or tower to provide signals....then in 2nd pic it seems to be a drilling machine......
Im pretty sure its drilling for water, but its twice the size of any water drilling rig ive ever seen before.
Maybe oil exploration?
Nope, too small, and not pemex.
But it could be more "discrete" oil exploration.
Ok, that could be, i will keep an eye on them, some folks suspect its a rocket launcher and they are saving up to buy the rocket,...
