HOLA CHICAS AND HOMBRES


hello guys! on behalf of zhicheng, i apologise for the lack of news from this side of the continent.whoops our days have been really packed the whole week, and the only times we are in our dorms is probably when we have to go back to put our stuff down, or when we are going to sleep. anyway classes are starting tmr so im hoping that we will have more time to give you all more updates!:) ahh you know, i really really wished you all are here too.its been so good so far, everyone we have met have been so friendly and helpful, always trying their best to help out with directions even though there is often a major communication breakdown cos of the language. but its all good all good, cos we are learning more and more spanish each day and hopefully by the end of our exchange we could have a proper spanish conversation with a mexican. okay to start off, il tell you how our day is usually like. so basically it will start off with each of us making a bowl of cereal (cornflakes and milk=muchos satisfaction) and for lunch, we usually head out to the zocalo (town centre) of puebla/cholula to have some typical traditional mexican cuisine (ie soft/crispy/rolled up/flat tortillas).omg let me tell you, ive never known that there can be so many different kinds of tortillas.always thought that all are the same kind but there are so many different names of each tortilla.the names on the menu always drive me crazy and i always need to have an american/european student to translate it for me haha whoops.but its really worth going through this whole trouble cos i tell you, the food is AWESOME.the flavour of every dish is always so savory and fragrant, really good stuff. as for dinner, we usually do our groceries in walmart, and so we get to enjoy some familiar singapore food!so far we had bakuteh, chicken curry and normal tze char. AHHHHH all thanks to zhicheng and winny's lil kitchen that they brought with them in their luggages, we get to enjoy such luxury.and GUESS WHATS GUYS im finally learning to cook! heh zhicheng's been such a great chef, and a great teacher too.so im slowly learning..learning to cook tau kay, potato salad (haha okay i know its probably dam easy for some of you so shuttup) AND RICE hahah how much water to put how to cut the potato how much sauce to add what to add blahh blahh blahh...its been a really fulfiling experience so far and im enjoying this independent lifestyle. which also includes being able to do my own laundry, plan my day and get to interact with so many different pple from different parts of the world to find out their kind of lives.its really scary how i start to realise how ignorant and naive we are, esp since we have been stuck in our own comfort zone in this small lil part of the world. honestly im glad we are all going through this together, and most importantly i absolutely cannot wait to show you guys (pegs and gross, hopefully bobbs too!) around puebla.im pretty dam sure you all will love it too:) and lastly, just so you know we are happy and safe, here is a photo of us in puebla:) will upload more photos soon, but that gotta wait til another day cos im heading to bed now! its 1.27am now and ive got classes at 10 tmr so i need my sleep. ahhhh adios (bye) and buenas noches (goodnight)! xxx
