A foreign visitor...

The last week, we had a guest in the class, he was a guy from Washington D.C that has lived here in México for 4 months. He talked to us about his university/college experience, and how his life changed when he travel to other places than his country, he told us a story 'bout the time he went to Costa Rica and how to be a guest on a house can be difficult especially when you don't talk the native language.

Sometimes the life gives you ''signs'' that makes you understand that you have to go on and fight each day to get what you are looking for, in my case the Nathan's visit makes me recover the inspiration I was losing at that time, looking at him talking on his native language to students that wants to travel and meet other cultures as him, makes me want to be that person, the one who is traveling and meeting people around the world.

Differences between cultures...

Mexican & German people... On this post, I will be talking about the principal differences that I have found between Mexican and German people, especially on food habits. To start I must say, that I can talk about German habits because my brother and his German girlfriend lived with my parents and me, for some months. So said that, I noticed that they, or at least my brother's girlfriend, like to drink strong coffee on the mornings meanwhile they are on their computers. But let's be honest, we all want (and need) some caffeine at the morning. The point here is that, like some people here in Mexico, she doesn't add anything else than a lot of coffee spoons on her cup. The other habit that I've noticed is that they really (really) enjoy hard bread with dried fruits on it. If she didn't buy a German box bread, she was baking one. One day, she was making a birthday cake for me; at the beginning it looks really good, but when she finished the whole thing was ...

The First Exam... Today I decided was the day to do an exercise that I almost forgot our english teacher leave us a week ago. I have to say that I haven't done this because I have lots and lots of homework, a lot of readings to be exactly , but yeah... the point here is that on this entry I'll be showing the making process of my mock exam, so let's start... The last thing I have to say is that I agree with the girl when she says that we all have an inner child, even some people says the otherwise. - Jj

Work conditions now... Aren't we far from the 19th?

It's a cold fact that the cost of living has change along the years; specially If we talk about now and two centuries ago. In this essay I'll be mentioning the differences ans similarities that exist between the working conditions here in Mexico and the working conditions back in the 19th, particularly at the Industrial Revolution (I.R.) First at all, it's hard to place both scenarios in one debate; just for the simple reason that they ain't in the same era or even geographic location. Now ''almost'' everybody in the world enjoy of many rights and benefits; but back in the day the situation wasn't that good. In the 19th Great Britain (and almost all Europe) was passing by a transition, the countryside was being replaced by the city -like nowadays- just to be able to work (and gain ''more'' money) in some of the plenty factories that started to function in that time. As I said in the first lines of the last paragraph, both ...
