So this is how it went-
I arrived from Delhi, India on July 23rd;
got my acceptance letter, got a letter from the bank, saw my friends, saw family, went to the consulate, and packed very last minute;
then flew and landed in Mexico on July 31st.

It's now August 10th and I can finally say that I feel a little bit more settled.

(left) Taken in the Central Plaza right in the heart of downtown Guadalajara. The city certainly has its charms. You can definitely sense that Guadalajarans love their city, adorning it with a lot of fountains, plazas and monuments all around-- all well tended and taken care of.

I'm currently living with a host mom and two other students. One- Sonya, is from Dallas, Texas, USA and the other one, Carla, is originally from Sonora, Mexico but studies in SanDiego, California. I definitely love the vibe of the house. I do feel at home as my house "sisters" are really cool to talk to and we seem to get along well.

Tec de Monterrey

Our campus is awesome. It's definitely a lot smaller than York, it feels a little bit more like high school than it does University... because it's a lot smaller, there is definitely that community feeling and unlike York, it is not impossible to run into people that you know.

Anyway, here are some pics of my first few weeks here in Guadalajara, Mexico.

(left) Here's a pic that I took while walking through our campus... I promise to show off more of the campus, because it's tended so well and it's very nice I must say.


(right) Here's the famous Cathedral of Guadalajara, located in the Centro of the city. The city itself is very clean and has very good infrastructure. Honestly, I didn't imagine Mexico to be like this. But I guess perhaps, it could also be that it's because Guadalajara is a huge city. (Pop'n of 5 million.)

I definitely promise to put up more pictures, however, it seems as though this computer is not letting me do so right now... so I'll leave you all with these three pictures.

¡Hasta Luego!
