Nice info acgtacgtacgt. Very nice. There's another post office in downtown Zapopan too. But for faster service go to the main one in downtown Guadalajara.

Now for gyms well what are you looking for? Are you looking for one that has averything in it? then Worldgym is the place. They have free weights, aerobics, kickboxing, pool (sort of). I believe there is one around UAG now but the one I know is around ICB. Also there's a Gold's Gym on Plaza bonita on Ave. Mexico. They free weights, aerobics and Muay Thai and Kickboxing. There's a couple schools of Muay Thai around UAG. Very very good martial arts schools near UAG. Some of the best training in the world found here.

If interested about a specific gym leave or send me a PM> I'll try to get you the address or recomend a good martial arts school.

Movie theaters? There's a couple Plazas near UAG. Like the newest Plaza Galerias.Plazas are malls. The one's around UAG hace nice restaurants and stores. For magazines go to Samborn's. Its a restaurant, pharmacy, video and music store, etc. For renting movies go to Blockbuster. There's plenty around UAG to keep you busy or entertain.

Thanks UAGMED. There is a gym at SU, but it is not close to ICB, nor is it open worthwhile hours (I think it closes at 8). The gym at Plaza Bonita is where I go, but I do not think I will renew there. The parking went up to 5 peso (about 45 cents) and the idiots that own the place have 6 high capacity ozone generators there in the locker areas to kill bacteria and viruses in the area. This fills the locker room area, the weight area, and part of the bike and treadmill area. However, according to the EPA, http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html the amount of ozone to clean the area will also cause lung irratation and can scar the lungs, which as you know from Pathology can lead to cancer; and in Physiology we learned that it caused decreased elastisity which leads to decrease lung capacity. High breathing rate + high ozone level = bad, i.e. Golds at Plaza Bonita is not recommended for this reason.

There are 2 or more Golds. One is 5 min by car, the other is 15 by foot. The closer one is the ozone Golds.

New students that have done your interview, and that have been accepted, you should receive an e-mail with an attachment. This attachment is a list of available house, apartments and roommates seeking roommates. They are owners and students that have registered this information with the school. It has names, numbers and locations of contacts.

If you have not received it yet, request it. This will save you much time and effort finding a place here near the school.
