Welcome to Xela! (Pronounced ¨shay-la¨ and short for Quetzaltenango, Guatemala).
I have been living it Guatemala for 5 days now, and have already adapted wonderfully to the people, the food, the town, and the climate!! The Spanish? That is coming. Already within 5 days of being here, my Spanish has improved leaps and bounds. I can now carry on conversations with my teacher, host family, (which is the hardest, because they don´t understand the phrase ¨Uh....what?¨)
I also know how to successfully bargain while purchasing phones, food, and clothing in Xela. I bought a cell phone for 200 Quetzales, which is about 21 U.S. Dollars with the exchange rate of 7.90 to one. ¡Me encanta!
To sum up my Guatemalan experience thus far, it has been full of 3 things. Español, Guatemalan food, and dancing.
