BUSSING

Bussing is the word that I have just invented. It`s a new kind of business. Here in Mexico it is really popular. Imagine... you`re sitting in the bus only with your thoughts or just chatting with your friends and then one guy enters and starts to talk, what I say....scream about God, Bible, addiction of drugs etc. And he keeps talking and talking about for like half an hour without stopping, then asks you for a money that no one give him because everyone hates him for disturbing their trip back home after the whole day of hard work.
It's amazing how this guy can scream for half an hour, super fast, spilling the words from his mouth. It always makes me think how this guy can catch the breath, don't he have a throat ache later?? how many times a day he needs to do it, does he really believe it or he just do it for money??

The other kind of "bussers" are guitar, accordion etc. players. These are better because at least you can relax a little bit listening to their music. Sometimes I even take a short nap in a bus chilling out and listening to them. But.....there is always but... here in Cancun there are also the players that do not know how to play and how to sing... and whats interesting...they know about it and before they start, they announce to the people that they have absolutely no idea about the music.... but they enjoy to playing/singing and they asks us (the people in a bus) to help them improve their skills and donate a little of money for some music classes. Believe me....after 5 minutes of listening to them you decide not to give them anything because you feel sorry for their "future" music teacher and you feel like making him a favor by not donating the money for this poor guy with a guitar.

The last kind of bussing that I was able to see is at night... How do you normally feel on your way back from disco?? exhausted no?? so imagine that you are so exhausted, the only thing that you think about is a shower and a bed but no.... then the clowns enter the bus.... yes CLOWNS and they start to scream stupid jokes and doing the stupid stuff. Believe me....they do it horrible but then you think....ok it's their job.... they know that they have to make idiots from themselves and then you are not mad any more.... you feel sorry for this poor guys that need to deal with bunch of drunk people.

My advice.... be prepared.... always bring your headphones and some music player with you.

Drug business in Cancun

Before coming here I knew that Mexico is one of these countries where are lots of cartels, narcotrafficants, drug business etc. but I always thought that it's in north of Mexico and as I'm one of these people who never even thought of trying drugs. I never even thought of finding out if it's easy to buy the drugs or not. So I was innocent and unaware of the amount of of people who drug. Of course I know that the people do drug but I'm surprised of the amount of people who drug and how easy they go over with it! I'm working in a hostel so for all of guests it is obvious that I can help them buying drugs so almost every night someone is asking me WHERE, HOW and HOW MUCH. They are so surprised when I answer that I have absolutely no idea.
Once, I took some guests to the disco and one guy is asking me if I can get him coke so I answer that no I can not so then he asks me if I can let him call to the drug dealer from my phone. Honestly??? call the drug dealer from MY phone??

Other story is that some guests from the hostel were coming back from the disco in a taxi and the driver asked them if they want some drugs. They answer that YES they want and he stops, calls the guy on the street, he enters the taxi and shows them tones of different kinds of drugs.... and then... lots of police come. They take all of the guys, including the dealer, and start to hit them. They finished in jale... the police took them pictures with all of these drugs but guys kept telling to the police that they didn't want these drugs so finally the story finished like that. The police told them that they will let them go BUT...they can not tell to anyone that the police hit them and then they also offered them some coke... IS THAT NORMAL?????

Next story is about the addicted of alcohol, drugs and porno idiot that have stayed in our hostel more than one month. He was having vodka with cranberry for a breakfast and was watching porno the whole days. He did not talk to anyone and all the people who were going out with him to parties were telling me later a reallly weird stories about him ( passing out in a bathroom/beach etc. vomiting at the girls and moreee). He was so stupid that obviously no one liked him. One day.... I was working at the bar on the rooftop and there came lots of guest telling me that someone is screaming in a hostel. Then I heard it, horrible screams at 11 pm. all the guest scared and he....screaming. No one was able to shut him up so finally we called police and the police took him. He was seeing some stuff because of the drugs and he was really dangerous.

I could tell you more stories but honestly.... I was unaware of amount of people who do drug and it makes me think how our population will finish... how will be the next generation??!!

Tulum and smelly bathrooms

To Tulum I got in the morning and went to the hostel that everyone was talking about. It was supposed to be a nice hostel but as soon as I got there I knew that something is wrong. they didn't have a places but as I know how the hostels work I asked if they will have some places after the check out. The girl just looked at me as she wanted to kill me and answered that MAYBE they will have something.... Normally I would leave that kind of hostel as soon as possible but I knew that there is one friend of mine sleeping in this hostel so it was really important for me to stay there. After the check out time I went to my room ( they found something for me) and I was welcomed by the horrible smell in my room. It was a mixed of the smell from the bathroom, hangover and vomits. I just left my stuff in there and left the room as soon as possible. If not I would also puke. I can't say anything bad about the atmosfhere that was outside because the people were all very nice, talking and laughting all the time but I tell you why....everyone was outside because the rooms were so horrible that no one could stay inside. Now probably you are thinking that I'm a really picky one but believe me.... I have been in lots of hostels and I can live in lots of kinds of conditions but this one was the dirtiest hostel that I have ever stayed in. The hostel is called "the weary traveler" and it`s alsways full just because you can find it in old lonley planet guidebook. But honestly....for sure you can find something cheaper and nicer in Tulum.

Anyway I went there to enjoy my time so I just decided not to think about the horrible room and went to the beach. I heard before that Tulum has the best beaches but honestly I didnt expect such a nice beaches. It was just amazing. I have spent there the whole day and didn't want to leave.

Next day... I decided to go and see the Mayan Ruins with some friends that I met in hostel. Ruins weren't big and for sure weren't better than the ones in Palenque but for sure are ones of the best situated ruins. Just at the beach... I can imagine how happy were the mayan people who were living there. How lucky they were. They also have the best beaches there..... Honestly.... it's just 57 pesos so I would fully recomend it to everyone just to go there and see the stunning views!!

I add you some pictures as you can imagine how it looks like!
