I’ve been doing more things alone lately, or sometimes with Mexicans, but the point is without other foreigners. And people have been mistaking me heaps more for Mexican. It’s been really nice (It’s nice to hang out with my Australian friends too). Xuxa and I went out on Saturday night on this crazy adventure and arrived home at 5.30am. I would never do that in Sydney. But I’m feeling all like “totally culturally integrated” which I’m sure if there was outcomes for In-country study 2 would be one of them.

It’s amazing how much it means when someone just talks to you as a normal person and not as a foreigner. I generally respond as a foreigner until sometimes they keep talking to me like a normal everyday Mexican and that is something special. That is a slow sort of thing to happen. And here I am, almost going home. Ha. I think there is enough silly foreigner moments to make me not miss that part of living in another culture.
