Two and a half weeks after returning to the US
On the second day after I came back, I took the subway from Oakland to San Francisco with my friends. As soon as I entered the subway station, I saw a circle of uncles and aunts kicking shuttlecock downstairs. It was probably too cold outside. When we arrived in San Francisco, it was cloudy everywhere. When I walked to the farmer’s market on Saturday, I saw an organization teaching how to make a Singaporean cold sashimi salad with auspicious meanings for celebrating the Spring Festival.…

Mexico City (6)
I arrived in Mexico City at noon on Sunday and went to dinner with local friends. Passing by Chinatown, it happened to be the Spring Festival, and the whole street was overcrowded, and I couldn't walk. Mexico City is such an international metropolis at any rate, it doesn't matter that there is not even a decent celebration of the Spring Festival, and the few restaurants in Chinatown look authentic, it doesn't matter. But there is one thing...

San Miguel de Allende, Querétaro
I took a ride to San Miguel de Allende on Friday, and it took an hour and a half on the road. The driver brother drove there to work every day. It took three hours to go back and forth on the road every day. The fuel cost was not cheap, so I always used the ride-hailing software to pick up and drop off passengers. Another passenger in the same car also went to work there, she is a vocal music teacher...

Guanajuato Week 2 Routine
From the place where I live, I can see the hills in the distance. The French landlord sister said that I can walk there in less than half an hour. I went to climb the mountain early on Monday morning, all the way up the slope, I couldn't breathe when I got to the top, but it was very quiet and the scenery was beautiful.

I had to buy a bus ticket, but he suggested that I take the Blablacar to come here, because the price will be half cheaper than the bus. . I used this car sharing software for the first time in Spain three years ago. I had several interesting experiences, but I don’t know…

Puebla Week 2 Routine
A cold snap started on Christmas Day, with light rain and cooling. My house has plenty of sunlight during the day and it’s not cold at night, but the landlord’s eldest sister’s son’s room is on the shady side, and it’s cold even during the day, so he moved to another room next to me on the sunny side. Play games in the next room. The name of the small restaurant downstairs rehile...

Ayahuasca Ceremony of Ayahuasca
When I first came to Oaxaca at the end of October, my couch owner who was an acupuncture therapist mentioned to me that on December 17th an ayahuasca ceremony would be held in his clinic. I just listened to it at the time, because firstly, I was not sure whether I would stay in this city until mid-December, and secondly, I knew about the ayahuasca ceremony...

Since the last week of December, the sound of firecrackers has been going on all over the city. There were two days when the firecrackers were fired at three or four o'clock in the morning. Later, I learned that this month began to celebrate the religious festivals of various Virgins. On the 8th, Our Lady of Juquila was celebrated, on the 12th, Our Lady of Guadalupe was celebrated, and on the 18th, Our Lady of S...
