Arrived today in Oaxaca (pronounced Wa-ha-ca) .. Jwo, myself and Dave (an English guy who was staying at the hostel in Puerto), caught a minivan service early this morning .. the minivan is much cheaper and quicker than the bigger coaches because it takes the shorter, apparently less windy road through the mountains.
Trip pretty much took the whole day .. had some interesting travel companions .. three live chickens in a bag, a mother breast feeding her baby, and a man with some curious facial tattoos (including a tear underneath one eye .. which according to the urban dicionary means he has killed someone).
You see plenty of random shops in Mexico .. you can be out in a small rural village and you see a store that sells just tiles and toilet seats .. or you may be passing down the highway and someone is selling a bunch of beds. Which reminds me .. most people seem to be doing something here .. there is not that much lounging around (which is what I have seen a lot of in countries like Egypt and Morocco).
