1st month feedback

Hey everybody!

Here I am again. I just realized I've ben here for a month now! Have had 4 weeks of school.

Had a nice week, on monday I only have 1 class in the morning so after I went to Coyoacan with Timi, to have lunch and wander around. We got a little bit lost but of course the loving and helpful people in the street helped us out.

On tuesday I had salsa lesson at uni, it was great again, I'm getting better and better :) This time there were more guys than girls, could not believe it! After classes Timi and I wanted to go shopping, so we went to the "shopping centre" in front of my house and also had some dinner there.

Classes are going fine, I actually like going to uni and I really enjoy the courses I choose. But it's quite harsh, I've got tons of reading to do and presentations to prepair... The spanish course for foreigners is now finally divided in 2 different levels, I'm in the "Intensivo", the higher one and so it's quite hard. But at least I learn a lot, I had never learned other verb tenses than the "presente del indcativo", so when I have a conversation I just make up hahah but now Im actually learning them. I really note my Spanish getting quite good and have learned a lot of new vocab by just chatting spanish all day long. though, I've also noticed my portuguese is getting worse, as it's so similar to Spanish. I think my accent has changed and I say "una" instead of "uma" hahah

Yesterday night, after "pregaming" with a drinking game at one f the students houses, we wanted to go to a salsa club but we ended up in a electro club. One of my mexican friends was not feeling well and had to go to the hospital by ambulance. Me and my fiends followed him in his car to see what was wrong. At the hospital his dad was awaiting him, and so we wanted to go home as it was 5am. Though, we were too many to fit in one taxi and so the ambulance driver offered to bring us home! I cannot believe it, he even let us put the sirens on on showed us how everything worked! It was so funny, I think this is only possible in Mexico!

Today I spend my day resting a bit, I also spoke for about one hour with my parents, my dogs and cat in Portugal via skype :) I feel good and happy here in Mexico, and I think I'm too busy meeting new people, places, trying new things, getting to know this wonderful culture, so I do actually not really miss Portugal. Though, I would love you guys t be here so i could show you this amazing city and country, and you'll love the food, it's delicious and sooo cheap! Also the fruit here is amazing, I eat papaya and mango everyday, you can buy them ready to eat on the street as well, one mango, 1€. I also got to know fruit I did not know before, as carambola and tuna, yummie!

Well, I gotta go and get my stuff together, this weekend I'm going to Cuernavaca, a city 1h south from MC. They call it "ciudad de la eterna primavera" because the weather is very pleasant all year round. We're going in cars, in total about 15 students from ITAM and we're gonna stay in the house of one of them. Some people are gonna go skydiving on sunday, but not me. I rather go under the sealevel than above it. haha

Hasta luego y buen fin de semana!

PS. I fell in love with this pic, it's relative to the "Fiesta de los Muertos", mexican tradition.
