I'm in Spain, I'm in Madrid. It is weird feeling again. I go in metro with many bags to MC Spain house. People in metro talk with different accent, it is hard to understand. I arrived to home. I met MC people and Pipe (AI IGN Director) and Gustavo, another guy who was doing CEED with MC Spain. It was interesting combination – 3 spanish people, 3 mexicans, 1 brazilian and me.

My trip home was very easy. I got used to flight so much. Just in 3 months time I had taken 5 airplanes. I took my flight Mexico City – Frankfurt – Brussels. In Brussels I had to change again to Brussels – Riga. Sitting next to the gates to fly to Riga I heard something weird and later on I understood that it is Russian and Latvian languages around me. This was so weird. And then I looked on

My Mexican family met me in airport and brought me to their (my for next 6 days) home. When I was in the car, it was one of the rear moments when I felt that I'm at home. I never felt Mexico as my home so much. It was so easy feeling. I knew language they talk, I knew their way of acting, culture. Places looked similar and I knew how to go where and what I should be aware of.When we arrive at
