A day worth blogging for.

This is the first post you will hear from me whining about Mexico.
I would give it a very light twist as well.

International students with a student visa lasting 180 days needed to register that visa again here in Mexico.
I was very fine with that but I would never want to visit the immigration office ever again.
I came back five times just to freaking get this freaking little thing...


Yep. I woke up very very early on my Wednesday break FIVE TIMES just to get this thing.

First time: Very normal. I even blogged about how happy I was I only needed to go another time just to obtain this form. Compared to other students that needed to go back a couple of times just to get everything handed in.

Second time: I came back to receive this form but turns out I wrote my name wrong.
In the Philippines and Canada, my name goes "Justin Edrick Cabuhat Monton." But here in Mexico it is "Justin Edrick Monton Cabuhat." My mother's last name at the end. I did not know that until after 2 weeks I came to the visa office. The online account they gave me to check if it's ready said it was indeed ready.

Third time: Since I did not have the necessary documents with me to hand in another application on the second time I went to the visa office, I needed to come back 3rd and accumulate. Everything went well again so I just needed to wait for another 2 weeks.

Fourth time: Went there very early again, waited for almost an hour then their freaking computer crashed down! Their employees did not know if it will be working again so they did not tell us to leave. I waited with my friend for 3 freaking hours in that office hoping that their system would work and give us our effin visa. But no! They made us wait 3 freaking ours with the end result being nothing!

Fifth time: Which is today. FINALLY! EFFIN FINALLY! I got this small form! So happy I do not need to go back to that visa office ever again!

So for future exchange students going to Mexico, this visa thing is for sure the first headache you would face.
Hate it with passion.

On another note... 
Whenever we go to another city, we always try to find Churros with chocolate or other syrup inside.
We frequently failed but heck, I FOUND A CHURROS PLACE 15 MINS WALK OUTSIDE MY HOUSE!!!!! So very happy! She only works Tue-Sun 6:30-9:30pm though so starting from now, since I end late every Thursday, I will walk and buy Churros from the lady! So so so so so so good!

Much Love.
