LEI Project in Xalapa

Xalapa 1 day 10/24

Hello,my name is yoshiki.

The first day, in the Veracruz University, I received a lecture about the history of Xalapa. Xalapa is a small town of Mexico And has the means "lake in the desert".

Of course lecture is Spanish, so I do not know at all. But student of Mexico who can speak Japanese summarize the lesson, so it is very meaningful lecture.

The most demanding in housing of that residents is “safety”, Because there are Mafia in Mexico Furthermore I heard Sound like a big gunshot every 10 minutes in the night, , I frightened in the bet. I asked the local friends the next day, She says “It sounds fireworks or car was punctured!!” But…Fireworks at 3o’clock midnight?? Such frequently to punk?? We still suspect.

Food is too spicy, immediately breaking the stomach, Water pressure in the shower is weak, Toilet paper is not in the toilet, traffic rules is none, I'm very feeling the difference of culture, but we are alive!!

Tomorrow, the two teams that mix of Japanese students and Mexican students are going to research and workshops to each target site.

We can leave off around here.

adiós!!!
