I hope you realize how much effort I put in to make this photo happen! LOL
Anyways, another day and February is on the go.
I have spent Three weeks in Guadalajara only to find myself partying on a weekend,
and stressing about school work.
The first wave of exams just hit me and I have 3 more to go up until Tuesday next week.
The only concession I get is I get to live the student kind of life.
On a budget, don't have to work, just focused in school, while learning a totally different culture and language.
That's where I am happy, and I kind of plan to keep it until after 4 more months.
Anyway, this post really is about where I spend most of my time here in Guadalajara, our house!
Let me give you an exclusive tour, mind you, it's not something close to MTV cribs but this house is close to me just like any other houses I lived in.
Picture Numero 1.
Let's start with the bedroom.
This is where I wake up. That's my roomie's bed though. LOL
So I am so screwed if he founds out about this blog and saw his bed on it.
Mine is the one with the green towel on.
Picture Numero 2.
Like everybody else, I just need to have a bathroom picture. HAH!
Yes. I gave in.
Picture Numero 3.
The dreaded stairs. Looks killer.
And yes, these steps is my workout, and my enemy, through the nights when I am drunk. :|
Picture Numero 4.
Right when you get down the killer stairs, you'll see the living room.
There's no television in the downstairs living room.
It was too late when I realized I might want to include the upstairs living room since that,
is where the TV is and the house phone where I usually talk with my parents back home.
Picture Numero 5.
Going straight on the left is the dining room.
Where I most likely had the longest yet shortest conversations with my host family and roommate.
We try to practice each other Spanish and English and for both of us, it takes a while to come up of perfect sentences in English and in Spanish. Could you say nosebleed? LOL

I cooked my first spring roll in this kitchen.
My host mom looooves spring roll, and when I started talking about it,
She sort of pushed me into helping her cook it.
It turned out pretty good actually. They call spring rolls "Rollo Primavera."

The laundry devils.
I have done my laundry here once.
Again a first in my life.
Picture Numero 8.
Front door.
Can you believe that they do NOT lock the doors in here.
I would come home at 4am in the morning finding out the doors are open!
And when it's locked, there's this hole where I can slip my hand and unlock the door.
No need for a key! Makes me think, am I really in Mexico?
One of the things that really makes me smile, how honest people are in here.
Picture Numero 9.
House- Frontal View.
The red car is not my host family's.
They are actually renting that parking spot to a neighbour with 5 cars.
Businessmen? YES!
Picture Numero 10.
Subdivision-Entrance.
Where my 30 minute walk begins.
After a long day in school, from the bus stop to this entrance,
you just could not imagine how happy my face would look like.
Picture Numero 11.
My street- Naciones Unidas- in Ingles, United Nations.
Coincidence?
Much Love
