Cholula
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Roman Catholic church of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios overlooks the town of Cholula from atop the Great Pyramid.Cholula is a city in the Mexican state of Puebla. The official, though little used, full name of the city is Cholula de Rivadavia. The city of Cholula is divided into two municipalities San Andrés Cholula and San Pedro Cholula which are considered to be part of the conurbation of the city of Puebla.
Cholula is located at 19.06° N 98.31° W, about 15 km west of the city of Puebla, at an approximate elevation of 2135 meters (about 7000 ft) above sea level. The population of San Pedro Cholula is somewhat less than 100,000 people, and the population of San Andres Cholula, a little less than 50,000.
Cholula, or in Nahuatl Cholöllan, was an important city of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, dating back to at least the 2nd century BC, with settlement as a village going back at least some thousand years earlier. It was later the second largest city of the Aztec empire.
Cholula was a major center contemporary with Teotihuacan and seems to have avoided, at least partially, that city's fate of violent destruction at the end of the Mesoamerican Classic period. Cholula thus remained a regional center of importance, enough so that, at the time of the fall of the Aztec empire, Aztec princes were still formally anointed by a Cholulan priest in a manner reminiscent, and perhaps even analogous, to the way some Mayan princes appear to have come to Teotihuacan in search of some sort of formalization of their rulership.
The Cholula Massacre of 1519At the time of the arrival of Hernán Cortés Cholula was part of the Aztec empire and was second only to the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan (modern Mexico City) as the largest city in central Mexico, possibly with a population of up to 100,000 people. In addition to the great temple of Quetzalcoatl and various palaces, the city had 365 temples.[citation needed]
In 1519 Cortés, either in a pre-meditated effort to instill fear upon the Aztecs waiting for him at Tenochtitlan or (as he later claimed when under investigation) wishing to make an example when he feared native treachery, conducted an infamous massacre here, killing thousands of unarmed members of the nobility gathered at the central plaza and partially burning down the city.
A few years later Cortés vowed that the city would be rebuilt with a Christian church to replace each of the old pagan temples; less than 50 new churches were actually built, but the Spanish colonial churches are unusually numerous for a city of its size. There is a common saying in Cholula that there is a church for every day of the year, however, it is rumored by locals that the actual number is closer to 280.
During the Spanish Colonial period Cholula was overtaken in importance by the nearby city of Puebla.
Cholula is most famous as the site of the Great Pyramid of Cholula, the largest man-made structure by volume in the world.
The original Nahuatl name was cholöllan, chol-öl-tlan, of which three possible etymologies are:
[Flee]-[öl(mëcatl)]-[place where happens] meaning something like "place where the Olmecs fled"
[Chol]-[öl(mëcatl)]-[place where happens] meaning something like "place where the Chol-Olmecs are", referring to the Chol branch of the Maya
"Water that falls in the fled place"
[edit]
Modern Cholula
As part of the Puebla urban area, Cholula is famed locally for its lively night life. Its town centre and zócalo area are filled with a wide range of bars and restaurants that are popular with young people from local areas and especially from the nearby UDLA university.
[edit]
Restaurants
Popular restaurants like La Lunita or taquerias such as Arracheras, Gueros, La Suprema Salsa, and Taco's Tony.
[edit]
Nightlife
Cholula has a very active night life which caters to the UDLA crowd. Popular bars and nightclubs, known in Mexico as "antros", include Bambukos, Bombay, Bora Bora, Elements, Kilawea, El Tigre, and Tres Deseos

nadando en hackney
hoy fui al carnaval de notting hill solita jajja. camine camine camine y luego camine un poco mas. baile baile sonriendo porque soy mexicana y pase por musica cubana pensando en los ruidosos y alegres pratz, amigos de la familia. baile cubanisimo hasta que llego un negro bembon y me continuo la bailada, yo un poco nerviosa pero divertida, comi noodles de quien sabe que pollito y un jugo de arandano, mi fiel companero, y prendi el regreso a mi casa. londres me esta comiendo y yo devuelvo la mordida poco a poco. he aprendido que quiero en la vida o omas bien como queiro vivirla, pero aun no estoy muy segura de ello. el viento es mi companero y tengo sorprendentemente pocos amigos. esta ciudad me recuerda siemrpe a mis amores, y me gusta recordarlos. estoy constantemente poniendome metas y mas metas pequenitas, reciclar, pequenitas, leer, pequenitas, nadar. he descubierto otras pequenas pasiones, entre ellas la natacion. me esta gustando un chingo nadar. me gusta la sensacion de ver a traves de gogles, y ver a las piernas de la persona pataleando de frente a mi. cuando voy a nadar, hay tres filas, slow medium and fast, me meto a la de slow y nado junto con los viejitos y demas imigrantes que no saben nadar muy bien. yo antes olia saber nadar muy bien. no se que paso que ahora ( tal vez por mi pierna) no le hago muy bien que digamos, al nadar de pecho siento mi pie derecho en una extrana posicion. pero me vale. me gsuta sentir el agua fria, y sentir tanto el agua que la siento en cada porito que se abre ys e cierra con el frio y calor. y luego sentirme agitada despues de llegar a la orilla. cuando nado los viernes por la tarde, entra un poquito de sol al final de la alberca y siempre nado hacia la luz que veo desde abajo del agua y es muy muy bonito. extrano a tanta gente pero estoy bien. estoy contenta y es una felicidad muy extrana. no un afelicidad extrema ni estupida ni ingenua simplemente una felicidad que me mantien muy viva y muy agradecida.

underground paola
yesturday i had the most increidble experience of going to an AMAZING ( done in a british clem accent) place. My roomate connor ( punk 40 year old brilliant irish man whom i will describe in the next blog.) invited me to " rock concert" in a mtero station, i thought it be kinda hard core, so i got prepaired in old jeans and runners ( tenis para uds paisas) and walked a swift walk with him and his mate john to the station, once ther, we proceeded to go up to a bearded man IN THE MIDDEL OF THE STATION UNDERGROUDN who was standing by a a rusty door. he had a list in his hand ( I WAS THINKING COOOLL THIS IS SO EXCLUSIVE AND UNDERGROUND HAHAA) feeling like extremmmme londeners, adn after a nod in approval we walked through the door and found ourselves in an enormous vault underneath the metro station, it was enormous, and smelled humid and there were on ly a line of candles and a few rusty dingy lamps.... walked about 50 m, and arrive to a small area, where there was a screen, liive music and setas for aobut 50 people. INCREIDBLE. we saw a french silent film and the band played music to it live. absolutely indcredible, i missed paulo inmediately and knew how mcuh he wouldve liked it, as well all my aa friends.... it was a pity sam, monas sister couldnt make it she woaulve been happy.
had a few glasses of insanely expenisve wine definitely not mexican prices, forgot my seater ( OR JUMPER) that is absolutely my favourite and went home.
nice . nice. nice
