Going to La Bufa and starting school

Saturday before we really started classes a big group of us from the exchange program went to a little mountain here in Guanajuato, La Bufa, and climbed it. It was a really beautiful trip, lots of great viewpoints and it was really nice that so many had decided to come and join the trip.

School this weeks has been rather relaxing and somewhat confusing. First of all I ended up only having class monday and thursday, since the class I had signed up for on wednesday suddenly didn't exist. So Now I have to figure out what class to take instead. I found out just how aweful it is to have class at 7 o'clock in the morning, I am not a fan at all ! I thought it was tough at 8, we all kind of complained in DK for having class at 8 last semester, but seriously I am so glad it is not possible to have it at 7 back in DK, I think I might struggle with this class since I am still more or less asleep when we start.


Since I haven't had much to do in school I have been hanging out a lot with an argentinian girl, Nil, and some really mexicans I also met through the exchange. We have been enjoying the sun in the afternoon at the central building of the university (it looks like Hogwarts btw, it is the one on the picture right under here, the photo is from the first day of introduction).

In other words, I can't complain about life here so far :)

The first week in Mexico

So, now I have been here in Mexico for a week, and so many things has been going on.
After arriving in Mexico City I took the bus directly from the airport to Guanajuato. It had been a really long trip since i left DK and to be honest I was really tired when I arrived at the hostel in Guanajuato, but anyways I went out to take a look at the city.

It is really beautiful here, so many colors and old buildings. It is pretty small, so it is more or less easy to get around (which is great for someone like me who always gets lost ;) )

I spent a couple of days looking for a place to stay. Luckily Mingo, a friend of a friend, lives here in Guanajuato and he offered to help me. Without his help I am not sure I would have found a place so fast. He has been a great guide and help, so I am really thankful for that.

On Monday the welcome stuff in the university started. It is so different in many ways, a lot of paperwork, but they are very nice to help us so I hope I have done everything right. Also I have already met some really nice people, everyone is pretty openminded so far, so I am positive.

Here are a couple of pictures so you can see a little of what I have experiences the first week around here:
