What I eat in Mexico

Finally came back home from Yoga class! 

Today I woke up 6am feeling super thursty so I went to get water bottle to the nearest convenience store called OXXO (オクソ)

Here in Mexico, water is not portable, so you need to buy it. 

Every in the morning, I start my day by making a special tea with honey and Ginseng. My mum got me this Korean medicine so that my body gets healthy.

(I was hospitalized once in November and was also warned to be hospitalized again in December due to my health problem, which I will write later soon)

Yesterday I went to a huge supermarket, which was like Walmart or Target in the US. I got my FAVORITR Greek yogurt. I saw 8 different kinds so I got each of them right away haha This morning I tried one with strawberry jam and chia seed in it. 

But sadly the yogurt was too sweet to me... I am excited to try everything but if they are too sweet, I will buy a plane one and eat it with some fruits

 

(By the way fruits here are super cheap -200g of mango was 60yen...)

This week I have been receiving some job trainings to get to know more about the University and study abroad system. I also followed my coworkers to a campus in a different city to encourage new students to go abroad. 

There were many questions regarding financial situations and also taking a risk of one semester or a year off for study abroad. For the financial issue, I totally understood how students are worried about it. But there are many scholarships that can support your study abroad! I learnt today that I need to be always looking for some aids so that more and more students can benefit from them. Many students were also worried that study abroad would just be a waste of time. To me it is not the case. I learnt new languages, new culture, more about myself, and also got to know amazing people who I could not have met in Japan! 

For lunch, I buy a Japanese bento box from Midori-sensei, who taught in the univeristy so many years and retired at her 70th last year. She said to me that she feels so much joy by cooking for many people! Her Japanese food has been my only decent food actually cus in the morning and at night I still cannot eat well ;( 

If anyone in Guanajuato want Midori-sensei's Japanese lunch box, she sells them for 60 pesos ;)

After my work today, I went to a yoga class! It was nice;) I came back home feeling super hungry so I boght an avocado for 11 peso/60yen. It would have costed nearly 200yen in Japan so I was so surprised! I love eating it with wasabi and soy sauce :p yummm
