Mexico's second largest city, around the 4 million people as of 2006.
The city's geography can be divided in:
* East-central: mostly empoverished ghettos, famous locally for the Obregón St., the city's red light district.
* North: a strange blend of ghettos, middle-class houses and upscale neighborhoods. The zoo, the planetarium, the Department of Transit and the Jalisco Stadium are located there.
* South: lots and lots of new middle-class neighborhoods, some ghettos (less than east-central though), a lot of pollution, and the place where you can find the city's biggest hills. The airport is located there, as well as the exit highway to Chapala.
* Far southwest: a little town about to be engulfed by the urban sprawl, and lots of big, posh neighborhoods, two of them in a hilltop. I happen to live in one of them.
* West-central: lots of cafés, restaurants, bars, art galleries, night clubs, furnitures, boutiques and big, tall buildings, as well as a couple of theaters. The best place to go out on a date.
* Eastern: this area is split in two: Tonalá and Tlaquepaque. Both of them used to be smaller towns absorbed by the urban sprawl. You can buy handicrafts here, but you can also go sight-seeing in Tlaquepaque.
* Western: mostly middle and upper class neighborhoods, also home of every single big mall in Guadalajara.
* Downtown: the first place where most visitors go. Visitors usually go there for the awesome sights, events and places, while locals go there because of the San Juan de Dios market (aka "San Johnny"), a place where you can buy smuggled merchandise, pirated CDs/DVDs/console games, cheap staple food, local souvenirs, and bootlegged apparel.

When we came to Guadalajara, we arrived at the airport in the south. First, we went downtown to check out the monuments and buy some movies at San Johnny. Then we moved southbound to Galerías and went shopping. After that, we moved northbound and hung out at the zoo, before going to west-central to a nice little pub. Before leaving, we thought it would be cool to get some hoes, so we moved to east-central and had some really wild sex with the best damn bitches in the world. It was really late already, so we ended up going to far southeastern and staying at my friend's house. Before leaving, we made sure to bring some handicrafts from Tonalá in eastern.

Get the Guard up mug.The independent subcategory of a marching unit, which consists of 20 (estimate) or more individuals who don't just "twirl", or spin batons or whatever. In reality, Color Guard is a highly aggressive sport which requires the knowledge of how to throw a rifle, or a sabre, which is basically a huge-ass sword that you toss/wave around into people's face. BTW, in winterguard, you're legit 10 feet away from the audience-but that's a different story. The CENTRAL point of this definition is, color guard is not a bunch of "geeks" who spin flags. We're some pretty badass motherfuckers.

Get the Color Guard mug.A section of the marching band that spins/tosses a variety of different "weapons" including sabers, rifles, flags, and air blades. Generally gets made fun of by members of the winds and drum line. Guard members are the only ones who can describe how it feels to toss high into the air and catch perfectly, while staying in step and looking pretty. Because really, that's the only point of the guard; to look good.
Angry band member: "I hate color guard. They're always in the way, and they have it so easy. Everyone knows they only join because they suck at their instrument and aren't good enough to be on the cheer squad or dance team."
Guard member: "Hello, we have to run around you guys the entire parade, have practices twice as long as yours and three times as often. I play first chair on sax along with french horn and clarinet, AND I'm on the varsity cheerleading and dance teams. Piss off."
