-By Yui Mihara, Show Manager, about the week in Puebla, Mexico
Puebla is one of my favourite city in Mexico. It’s been my hope to come back to Puebla since I came to the city a year and a half a go with A08 tour. So here I am! My dream comes true! Yeah!
You can find the colony style of architectures everywhere you go and really get to experience the Mexican history in this city. On the regional learning day we drove around the city by bus and got a tour at Chiklets gum factory and saw the highest volcano in Mexico, Popocatepetl!
Since I was staying in a hotel with other staff, the advance team provided us a white old Beetles as our ride. This little guy became our friend throughout the week. Beetle is my dream car but it was the 1st time to ride a “classic” type of Beetles. You can find Beetles very often in Mexico. They were one of the popular cars that people purchased in 70′s. It may bring you back nostalgia if you’ve ever learnt how to drive stick when you a kid.
I was so amazed to see how car can be that simple. There were only 2 buttons and stick to drive. It was an adventure everyday and we had a lot of fun!
Another thing became one of our favourite things to do was going to bakery at the end of the day. Mexican pastry is very tasty, has lots of variety and what is more, they are so cheap! I bought 3 pastry and it was less than a dollar! Please check it out if you come to Mexico! Viva Puebla!
