August 27th, 2010After three reasonably heavy days of teaching tactics with the British Council in Mexico City and one day of paper work with the SEP, all 37 ELAs are ready to head in their own directions. Mexico City has left a damp impression. To start off with, Air France lost my luggage for three whole days, but, luckily I had packed enough kit in my hand luggage for five days, so the waiting and hoping for a 24kg package to arrive at the hostel failed to phased me. Secondly, I had completely underestimated the power of jet lag and the effects of the high altitude and spent a good three days in a dizzy daze and out of breath. And finally, I had quickly grown tired of being inside an English Bubble in a foreign country: surrounded by english people in the hostel, in the bus, in the British Council, in the cafes, in the bars etc. I am ready to be let loose and discover Mexico for myself.
