I expect to learn a lot of stuff in Mexico. I want to develop my language skills. I need to focus on perfecting “simple” Spanish instead of the complex stuff. I want to expand my eating habits. I want to be able to create great friendships. I want to be able to make a connection with the city and the culture.

I stereotype that all Mexicans like bright colors, eat a lot of food, are close with their family, and go out and party while drinking tequila. I stereotype that all Mexican men want to get with American women and that I will get cat-called by drunk strange men when I walk down the street. I stereotype that it will look like Rio Grande.
