So if you like the films this is the place for you... we watch one or two films every night.
I can offer you a couch in the living room and some space on the floor as well.
I can give you some sheets, but you have to bring your sleeping bag for the floor, unless you want to sleep on the floor with some sheets only, it is up to you.
One of my roommies has a rabbit as pet, but don´t worry it won´t hurt you... hehehee!!!
I don´t smoke, if you want to smoke you have to do it outside.
There is a metro station at 5-10 minutes from here. The downtown is 45min approx from here.
If you come with us I will be so glad to show you around while I am not working.
We go to bed very late.

1- RADIOHEAD en vivo!!!
2- Mientras estuve trabajando en una agencia de publicidad. Fui a Tapachula, Chiapas. Un huracan llego, se desbordo el rio y destruyo muhas casas. Destruyo los unicos puentes que teniamos para poder comunicarnos y nos quedamos encerrados durante una semana. Teniamos poca reserva de comida, sin electricidad y muy poca agua para beber.
Un helicoptero fue a rescatarnos.
-He sido un "Beach Boy", vivi 1 año en Ixtapa, Vivi 7 meses en Montreal, Canada y vivi casi un año en Europa.
ENGLISH:

2- While I was working in an advertising company in Mexico I went to Chiapas, an hurriacane came and destroyed a lot of things. It destroyed the only bridges we had to conmunicate. We stay there for one week with a few reserve of food, no electricity and just a few water to drink. An helicopter came to rescue us.
