Intercambio Académico en Canadá

The end

Fers — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 04:13:54 +0000

My interchange experience finished on december, 2009. I stayed in Canada until January, 2010 :p.

I never thougth about closing this blog, but now, one year after I arrived Canada and 6 months after I left :p, it is time to say: game over.

Canada: The most incredible place where I have ever been. I feel so happy in my country, but I really miss those winter days, those beautiful places and all the nice people that live there!!!

Canadians: The most incredible people. They are really nice people. I still can remember the day when I forgot to bring money to ride the bus, and an old woman that I just met, paid my ride. I can remember the day I forgot my ipod touch on a bank, and an unknown person that found it tried to find me to give it back to me! after I told him… no I didnt lost my ipod (what a stupid moment :p) he went 3 stories up to put it in the lost and found box.
If someday you have to trust something to a canadian, be sure you can do it!.

University of Alberta: An awsome school. I don’t have enough words to describe it (because my english is still too bad :p), but these words can give you an idea of what I think about it: Awsome, excelent, nice, clean, everything :p.

I really enjoyed the time in my canadian school. My heart really left a part of it on Canada, my second home.

Thanks to my profesors in Canada: Dr. Driver, the best structures proffesor I have ever had, because of him, I found my interest about structures; Dr. Bayat, an experimented soil engineer that gave me the best the tools for being a good engineer, and he also made me feel at home in his class; Dr. Bindiganavile, I admire the pacience that you had with me; Dr. Zhu, the nicest professor I have ever known, I remember one day I couldn’t understand the class, I went to his office and he explained it all again.

Thanks to Stephen Harper for the kindness and amability that you had with those 5 students in Guadalajara (including me :p). I really thank all the support Canada gave me, in everyway possible.

Thanks to Universidad de Guadalajara. I really love my Alma Mater. I am a black lion forever. My heart also have a little bit of golden bear.

Thanks to Claudia Balpuesta, the coordinator of I dont know what in my university but… she made everything it possible.

Thanks to everyone that made my exchange experience, the most amazing thing of MY LIFE!!!

AND IF YOU ARE READING THIS BLOG ASKING YOURSELF: IS UOFA A GOOD CHOICE FOR AN EXCHANGE OR FOR A FULL DEGREE?

I have just 1 answer: UOFA WILL BE THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFE, ENJOY!

Thanks AND YOU CAN BE SURE… I WILL STUDY AGAIN IN CANADA SOMEDAY IN A GRADUATE PROGRAM

THE END

Jasper!!! / Jasper!!!

Un viaje inolvidable!

Para que contarles si pueden verlo en fotos!

Recomendaciones:

Si vienen por estos rumbos, no dejen de visitar Jasper y esquiar, puedo clasificarlo como lo mejor que hice hasta ahora. De verdad, esquiar es divertidisimo!!! y Jasper es asombrosamente bello.

Si van a Jasper visiten el bar donde hacen su propia Cerveza y porfavor prueben las alitas de pollo, las mejores que he probado en mi vida!!! (lo siento hooters)

Si pueden ir a los hot tubs, no duden ni aunque esten a -20°C como nosotros, es muy relajante

An unforgettable trip!

Why should I write about it if you can see it in pictures!

Recomendations:

If you come to this zone, visit Jasper and practice ski, I can say that it is the best thing I have ever done until now. Seriously, skiing is very fun!!! and Jasper is surprisingly beautiful.

If you go to Jasper visit the bar where they make their own beer and please try the chicken wings, the best I have ever tried in my entire life (Sorry hooters)

If you can go to the hot tubs, don’t hesitate even if you are -20°C just like we were, its pretty relaxing

Disfruten!

Enjoy!

Cumple de Moni / Moni’s Birthday

Fers — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 21:57:29 +0000

Bueno pues resulta que nos fuimos a Jasper (ver entrada siguiente) y regresando invite a Moni a cenar a un restaurante Japones, donde cenamos sushi y un plato de algo raro japones que aunque no supimos que fue, nos lo comimos . Desgraciadamente no tomamos fotos… asi que pues les dejo una foto de las flores que tambien le regale, pero tomada dias despues.

We went to Jasper (check next post) and when we came back, I invited Moni to dinner to a Japanese restaurant, where we ate sushi and a dish of something weird but japanese, and even that we didn’t know what it was, we ate it . Unfortunately we didn’t take pictures… then I post the picture of the flowers that I gave her, but taken some days after.

Ultimo dia en UofA / Last day in UofA

Fers — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 21:50:56 +0000

Me llene de ganas de dar una vuelta por la que fue mi universidad durante 6 meses y a la que hoy en dia le agradezco y debo muchas cosas. Un agradecimiento a los cuatro maestros que tuve con los que aprendi tantas cosas (y de pasada me dieron buenas calificaciones jaja).

I wanted to hang around in the place that was my university during these months and the one that I thank and owe many things. Special thanks to the four proffessors that I had and learnt so many things (and I got good grades).

Mi casi cumpleaños / My almost birthdate

Fers — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 08:01:52 +0000

Pues un dia antes de mi cumpleaños, mi novia hermosa Monica, me invito a cenar a un restaurante (muy chingon por cierto) llamado Mario’s, en el cual pudimos disfrutar un poco de comida italiana. El unico inconveniente de la noche fue que el taxi tardo una hora y quince minutos en llegar por nosotros para llevarnos al restaurante, pero sin embargo, en compensacion nos dio un cupon para tener un descuento de 5 dolares en nuestro proximo taxi

One day before my birthdate, my beatiful girlfriend Monica, invited me to dinner to a restaurant (very nice by the way) calle Mario’s, where we could enjoy a little bit of italian cuisine. The only problem of the night was that the taxi lasted around one hour and a quarter for coming to pick us up, nonetheless, as a compensation the driver gave us a coupon for having a discount of 5 dollars on our next taxi trip

Nos la pasamos increible!

We had an incredible time!
