It is amusing how I have raced through locations much more picturesque, and with more obvious attractions, than Xela. Why this cold and wet city has justified six weeks is a mystery, but perhaps the clue comes from the guidebook that likened it to a town in Northern England.Studying at El Portal has been great and, although I am not as fluent as would have been nice, I have everything I need to get around the region and more. Big thanks to Gloria, Mariela and even Josue for the rude words.
The scene here is pretty small, but has everything you need. Budda Bar and El Cuartito for live music. La Rumba and La Paranda for salsa dancing. Salon Tecun and Oala for a beer. Pool y Beers and Blue Angel for movies. El Sabor de India and Cafe Paris to escape from the local cuisine. Not to mention a 1980's style gym, ridiculous museum featuring a goat with two heads, nasty American style shopping mall and a million internet cafes. Plenty to keep you occupied before and after homework time.
