So, I woke up on the morning after my last exam in Singapore and decided that I needed to get out. I had completed the scholarship there and still had some money saved for the rest of the year. Hull University exchanges with IberoAmericana in Mexico City so I thought I would head there. I have wanted to learn Spannish, so I thought that it would be good to experience another culture rather than stay in singapore for a second semester.

I still want to come home for xmas, so I am looking for a ticket either from mexicoor from Los Angeles back to the UK. Term starts in January in Mexico. I then have aflight back to Singapore that stops in Taiwan on the way back. I have to use this by May. It would be good to stop in Taiwan on the way back to the UK for a few months, to improve my Chinese, and then nget a ticket back from there.

I spent a couple of days at my friend Mandy's in San Fransisco, then off to Sunnyvale to visit my mum's cousin, and then here to Yorba Linda near Los Angeles,where Patricia lives, a friend I met in Singapore.

In Mexico I can study spannish language and Mexican culture without having to speak Spannish before hand. But the accomodation is not cheap about 70 pounds a week, so am not sure if I want to go to the university or just travel in mexico and s-america...

Heading to Mexico this week. I will write from there.
