Having arrived on Saturday, and due to the wonder that is Facebook, I've spent the last 2 days with a couple of people from the course - Martin and Cass. We all stayed at the same hostel and had a ball negotiating our way around Downtown Mexico City. From the markets, to the Zocalo, buying mobile phones and coffee...getting to practice our Spanish and personally realising that I've got a long way to go before I'm fully comfortable doing anything more than the most basic of interactions. I am very keen to see how different it feels in 30 days!
My house mother, Maria, is very lovely. She doesn't speak a word of English and the other 3 girls don't speak a word of Spanish, my Spanish is patchy, but it's working. The house is great, with a little pup and in a lovely street.
Callie Barrett is participating in our January 2012 Intensive Spanish program at La Salle University, Mexico. Callie is about to enter into her 4th year of a Bachelor of Arts (double degree in Spanish and English) at Flinders University.
