In class i have some dificulties, since most of my classmates were form Asia, and middleast were the languages are so, diferent that it was dificult to understan them, not to metion the different mentality. in general, they were very shy, and well in Mexico the class atmosphere is very different and everyone in general are social, and talkative, so there i had the rol of the one who always started and mantain the conversation, which was a litlle dificult since i never had to, but i think i handle it pretty well, and I learn to be discreat, because being amog students from all over the world, with different belifs, traditions, maners, it was a very interesting experience

Never go out with out your map on the first week of your arrival. Be sure that you're getting in to the right bus/metro, if you're not... ask! Before paying for anything ask if they have a student discount
