Acqua Summer 2011

Welcome to my blog! This blog was written by an exchange student who had been to Mexico for a short summer program. During my sojourn in Mexico, I had been studying in Tech De Mont, a prestigious, rich and well-recognized international university in Mexico. The courses that I took include basic Spanish and Introduction to the Mexican's Culture. I was a Singaporean undergraduate in National University of Singapore, NUS.

This blog is divided into different topics according to various themes and period: Arrival to Mex, Memoir's of my host family (8 parts).

Arrival to Guang Zhou via China Southern Airline!

 China Southern Airline 中国南方航空, CZ354
My first time with this airline. 
The overall experience has been unbelievably good considering how CHEAP the air ticket is! 
Only $1916 for a round way trip from SNG to CAN to LAX and back!
My seat number was 54B. 
The amount of leg room available for this flight is also unexpectedly adequate.

Hola!. Here are some of my air flight mates! 
From left to right: Me, Stella and MeiQi. Not in Photo: Elizabeth and Khai (photographer)

 My special requested meal: Oriental Vegetarian!
It was a lot better then I had expected. 
Though not fantastic, but still edible :)
Just Bread and Butter, jelly, cold dish which consisted of tofu and some vegetables and the aluminum wrapped stuff is just bee hoon. 

 Bee Hoon Char Siew - VEG

 It tasted alright, just a little salty for the sauce.
I managed to finish it though it was not fantastic~

Normal meal, photo taken from someone seated next to me, a "new friend".
  Chocolate Ice-cream! I want it!

I kind of think it looks and tastes good?

 From left: Stella, Meiqi and Khai. 
They were seated to the right of me. 24 D, E and F

 Taken discretely when they were sleeping. Shhhhh!!!

 Was trying hard to learn some Spanish during the 4-hour flight.

 Very Chinese! The air stewardess wasn't that pretty.
I very much prefer SIA girls, think they have a "higher" quality of selection standard?
But their steward is quite handsome... Haha =D

Here are my "new" friends.
From left: Me and the two guys. 
Both of them are working in Singapore. They were visiting china, probably for a short period of time only?
They both commented Singapore is rather hot as compared to China, especially Harbin which can be as cold as -30 Degree Celsius!
Left guy comes from Shan Dong 山东. He is majoring in electronics and dropped out from high school, he is like 3 years older than me only. Right one comes from Harbin 哈尔滨, 13 years older than me.

All in all, I had an enjoyable experience taking flight with all of them, especially new newly acquainted friends. And in fact, I really enjoyed every moment with them. Conversing with them was very easy and lighthearted. They were genuinely pleasant to talk to and sincere people who would not show any form of pretentious entertainment. And it was a very direct talk of how we felt over several issues and topics. Pleasantly delightful to have met them!
