Awesome. Did you look across the river into Cuidad Juarez when you were in El Paso? Those border cities sprawl... something to see, especially at night.

Jimmy, check out my location sig. I'm done travelling for awhile.

You liked it so much you're staying for good? Thats hardcore.

Where are you staying, how will you work?

Jimmy:

Yeah, I saw Cuidad Juarez, made me realise just how close I was to Mexico, which was kind of odd given how I hadn't even crossed the US border until this trip.

Awhile is a little different from forever. I'd like to work and stay in the states, but for now I'm just looking at the summer.

Oh yeah, right now you're further south than a sizable chunk of Mexico because of the way the Rio Grande flows.

Sounds like a plan. How are you supporting yourself? Savings? And out of curiousity, where are you staying?

And BTW, you'd be a fool not to go into Mexico while you're down there. You can take Greyhound to one of the TX border cities (like Laredo), walk over the bridge, do some shopping, eat some food, then head back. You won't regret it. Border towns are a blast (for me at least).

[JimmyCracksCorn]

Actually I've been to Laredo and the bus station is a skip and a jump from the foot bridge across the border. I only passed through Nuevo Laredo to get to the central bus terminal to go to Mexico City but it was... interesting. I've been to Brownsville/Matamoros too and the Mexican side is alot nicer than Nuevo Laredo in my opinion.

Still, make the effort to get down to Mexico. You'll never be closer.

[Ben Kenobi]

Never is a very long time.

As for my support, I have some savings and I am staying with friends of mine.
