I'm lucky enough

I have met wonderful people here, from different countries, having different languages and customs. They have helped us a lot, from the simpler things to the more heavy ones. We have visited the different places of Laredo, now we are already familiar with the city. The things I have enjoyed most have been the shops and food. For a moment, we found ourselves in the circusmtances of getting more comfortable clothes, for the weather here is awesomely hot. So some friends offered to take us to do our shopping. We have spent many hours going to the huge shops that Laredo provides. We have been invited to eat as well as home-made food as to drink delicious cold coffees. We also went clubbing, and although Laredo doesn't have many clubs as I believed, we had a lot of fun. The sad part of this is that we hardly have free time, and have quite a lot of invitations to go to out and visit the neighbors cities that surround Laredo. I think we will have to work it out, in order to enjoy this lovely country as much as possible.

satisfied withTexasA&M

Laredo is as wonderful as it ought to be. I'm just happy here. It is amazing to see how everything goes perfectly on. People in the university is very kind, they are always willing to help us. Another thing that I 've also enjoyed is the food, for it is exquisitely spicy. Regarding the climate, I just can say that I love it, by the way, the average temperature here is about 40 degrees. In spite of being that hot, I'm not tanned yet, but my hair does have suffered the concequences of the heat, yeah, it is kind of dry on the ends! Now, as far as the classes are concerned, I can say that they are not too difficult, the problem is that we are taking many courses, so there no much time to study. Likewise, we are new in this city, so we need time to visit the various places that Laredo offers. Going back to the academic part, I think that during our short stay, we have learned a lot, because teachers make us study every day, and they give us enough homework. I don´t enjoy to be engaged in too much work every day, but I have do it. There´s something that has really caught my attention is that Texas A&M, coexis with nature. The University has huge green areas, where we have found different animals, including skunks, wild boars (javalies), raccoons (mapaches), turtles and nice deer. We see them every day roaming freely on the campus. isn´t it great!
