💡Hey, feel free to suggest any adjustments or corrections in my text using the comments at bottom of the page. I’m learning English, after all.


1. My reflections

This episode Amy share how was her first day in Mexico. Since arriving in a rough landing, facing a little bureaucracy (vaccination, certification, and other papers) to bring her cat by health surveillance at airport. She also faced some issues in the rent car company because they didn’t find the vehicle rent payment.

To make things worse, Amy doesn’t speak Spanish, and the last straw was the difficult to call to the landlord from the Airbnb house, he didn’t answer the call at any moment. It was becoming night and Amy had to find a hotel to stay that night.

In the next day, she managed to call to rental guy from Airbnb, and finally came to her house. It was a stressful day.

Mexico is a hot and humid city, so who came from Canada suffer a lot, you should be prepared to sweat and drink fresh water all the time.
