Snatch: Cerdos y diamantes

So. I have been neglecting my blog a little bit lately. But that is mostly because I haven't had so much time to update. Last week I changed families ahead of schedule due to some problems with my former host family. So yeah. That was pretty hectic.

This family is really nice. It consists of Adhara, my 16 year old host sister and Martha, my host mum. Apparently there is a father, but I'm a bit hesitant to ask where he is in case its a touchy subject. Though I know he is alive now, because he called the house the other day. And yeah. I have a host brother, but he is off at University in Monterrey.

They are also on a diet, which is probably a very good thing for me because I have put on 3-5 kilos since I got here. Not good. But I'm pretty sure thats because I started hacking into Oreos quite frequently and haven't really been exercising. So yeah. Now that I have a tennis partner and a way of easily transporting my rollerblades that will change. And hopefully I will get back down to my original weight.

At the moment I am watching Snatch dubbed in Spanish. Which is interesting. As anyone who has seen Snatch will know, the accents play a pretty big part in the comedy, so its weird in Spanish where the accents are non existent. Also, quite often things aren't translated literally, so its not as funny as it is in English. Yeah, I have seen snatch so well that I pretty much know it line for line. Which is useful in some ways because I can sort of translate what they're saying in my head. But yeah, it also means that a lot of the time I don't listen to the Spanish and just remember what they should be saying instead. But yeah. It is good for Spanish learning. Just irritating at times.

So yeah. Its fully semana santa now. And for the first two days I was pretty damn sick. I had the first migraine I've had in god knows how long. But I'm all good now, so I can now go psycho with the rest of Mazatlán. lol And on that note, I'll leave cause its about lunchtime and I'm really hungry. Adios.
