NOW

Now that I am in my home, I really miss being abroad. Then I was having so much fun, because it was new and exciting, now that im back to my everyday life, it is always the same, when I travel I feel like im expanding my horizons and getting new perspectives of the world. I may be traveling again very soon, because it is so fun and exciting

MY TRIP

Before the trip I was worried because Mexico is known for the violence and the hot temperatures, the heat was a problem, but I didn’t care because it was so fun, the people are kind and all is fun, the food is delicious and after all, I had a lot of fun in this trip, after actually going to Mexico, my view of the country changed, from a mariachi and tacos image, to a very culturally rich and beautiful place, with lots of things to do.

CONVERSATION

In a Mexican restaurant:

Waitress: Hi, how are you?
Me: very well thank you
Waitress: What would you want to eat? We have meats, pasta, pizza, burgers and chicken
Me: I would like some pasta please, what kind of pastas do you have?
Waitress: Macaroni, noodles and spaghetti.
Me: I would like some spaghetti
Waitress. Ok, would you like any cheese in your pasta?
Me: Yes please
Waitress: How much cheese?
Me: A lot please, I love cheese.
Waitress. Ok, wait 15 minutes and your order will be ready

FAVORITE FOOD

Now I want to talk about my favorite foods, I eat a lot of meat, almost every day. Also I like pasta, it is my favorite food, I like chocolate and pizza, how many unhealthy things I eat, but I love them it can’t be helped they are so delicious.

EMOTIONS

I felt a lot of emotions in this trip. At first I was so worried because of the trip in plane, it was so long and I was nervous, I was a bit sad, because I could not bring my dog ​​with me and I had to leave him in a kennel, but during and after the traveling I was very happy, because I was experiencing and seeing new things and having a lot of fun, anyway, I also felt very embarrassed because the Mexican people used a lot of strange words, and I also used some words that I know, but with different meanings, so I could not understand them or I misunderstood what they were trying to tell me, that was so embarrassing.

NIGTH

• The night in Mexico is special, you can go outside and do a million things you cant do in the day. Like going to bars and go drinking with your family, there are lots of drinks that can get you drunk, like tequila, which is strong drink from Mexico. In the night the young Mexicans go outside to party and everything is noisy and fun; The Mexican music like the mariachis can be enjoyed in the night, everywhere is a guitar or someone playing music. The night in Mexico is fun and special

EXPERIENCE

• One day in my trip I wanted to go alone, so I asked my dad if I could go outside, he told me that I could, so I went alone. The streets in Mexico are big and there are lots of people, you can easily get lost, so you have to be careful. I almost got lost, but the people helped me, and they remembered me that you can see where you are going with google maps. In the end I didn’t get lost and I could see the kindness of the people.

FOOD IN MEXICO

One of the best things in Mexico is the culture of the country, the people are kind and they are always happy and willing to help, they can start a party for any motive and their parties are loud. The food is delicious, they have the Tacos and burritos, everybody knows that, but they also have “pozole” that is a delicious dish, is kind of a corn soup. Other delicious food is “Quesadilla”, the word kind of means “Cheesy” and is a tortilla with cheese and meat. The food was one of the best experiences in all the trip

CONVERSATION

This is a story from a shop in Mexico:

Me: Hi, I want to have some sunglasses for this summer to go to the beach
Vendor: Hi, I have some sunglasses over here, you like this blue one or that red one?
Me: hmmm, let me see, how much does tthose red one cost?
Vendor: The blue ones costs 25$ dollars and the red ones cost 30$ dolars
Me: Hmm, I like the red ones, and they are not that expensive, I’m taking those ones
Vendor: Thanks for your purchase

CLIMATE AND TEMPERATURE IN MEXICO

In Mexico, there are so many types of clime, from hot to cold but mostly hot, it was good for going to the beach, but after a long time it became bad and boring it always being so hot. It was good entering a building with air conditioner, like a relief from the heat and the clime outside; But not all of the country is like that, when you are traveling trough the mountains, there is cold and snowy. After all, Mexico is a very good place with a lot of climes.
