going to....India!




Hello everyone! So Lilia's foreign adventure this year is......INDIA! Hey none of you saw that coming:). Im going with a Travel Study group from SDSU. Its a course called "Women in India." It will be VERY interesting. I am planning on keeping everyone updated as I blog from India all of my experiences and impressions. I will probably post images too..it will be REALLY cool. We will visit three cities: Delhi, Agra, and Hyderabad. We will study with Indian Women’s Studies professors and students and visit numerous women's NGOs (non-governmental organizations). The group will also visit many of the great sites of India, including the Taj Mahal, The Ganges etc.... the flavors...the sounds...the colors... the sights...the wonder of India..Here I come...Mexican meets India :)

new Orleans...Is it all just a matter of race and political tendencies?


I couldn't let it go too long before commenting---More than four days after Hurricane Katrina struck, the National Guard arrived FINALLY Friday with food, water and weapons, churning through the floodwaters in a vast truck convoy.

From the NY Times:
"If you know that terror is approaching in terms of hurricanes, and you've already seen the damage they've done in
Florida and elsewhere, what in God's name were you thinking?" said the Rev. Calvin O. Butts III, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. "I think a lot of it has to do with race and class. The people affected were largely poor people. Poor, black people."

"No one would have checked on a lot of the black people in these parishes while the sun shined," said Mayor Milton D. Tutwiler of Winstonville, Miss. "So am I surprised that no one has come to help us now? No."

The Rev. Jesse Jackson said cities had been dismissed by the Bush administration because Mr. Bush received few urban votes.

Well shit, I bet if they had known that the little weasel was going to rig the votes anyway, then they would have supported his campaign...When survivors in New Orleans began chanting "Where's George Bush?" yesterday how come the BBC was the only major network to show it? I can't understand why there aren't enough National Guard at the scene? Cops? Soldiers? SOMEONE!?

--I guess we aren't trying to show off in front of the world wide community, like we did with the Tsunami a few months ago. It's our own people, and they are starving to death..I never thought I'd see the day when thousands of people so close to help are dying because of the simplest things, especially in this country. Its not like its half the world away, or in a remote area, or across the damn ocean..its freakin' LOUISIANA! Its ridiculous. no...its BULLSHIT!!!

aztec day uno...


first day of classes at State.It was freakin' hot!...the Green line is a pretty convenient way of getting there. The transit station is super cool. Though I did notice there were a dozen cops making sure no one was free riding. I think my ticket was checked maybe like 3 times, and it wasnt because I was Mexican!!
