Be prepared, this one is going to be a long one. So many things happened in my fifth months and I can't wait to tell you about them. I don't think any months will stand a chance against this one to be honest.
Feelings
The feeling that dominated my 5th month was definetly happiness. I can't remember when I felt this content over such a long span of time in the past or if I ever have. Bad news didn't affect me too much because I was happy inside.
I was also very thankful for lots of things especially for my host family. I love them so much already and I don't want to think that my time with them is limited. I had a great Christmas time with them and just spending time with them doing nothing extraordinary already makes me happy.
I can also tell you that I've really fallen in love in Mexico by now and that only thinking about leaving at some point makes me feel ill all over. I would love to stay another year and if it wasn't for the great university place waiting for me in Germany, I would totally do it.
I can't exactly tell you what I love so much about Mexico, it's just a general feeling that I belong here. In the beginning I couldn't really grasp this country but now nearly half a year into my stay here, I think I understand lots of things about the culture (but of course not everything!) and really feel at home here even if there are certainly facts that bother me.
