Today started at 09:30, I was picked up by Arielle and taken to Hospital General de Zapopan to complete the necessary form to work in the hospitals. Following this we then traveled to Cruz Verde Zapopan Norte where I was introduced to some of the nurses and doctors I would be working with over the coming week.
We then had a little drive around the town, grabbing a drink on the way to purchase a sim card for my phone that would work in Mexico and to exchange the dollars I had with me for pesos. Arielle went through the do's and don'ts in Guadalajara and told me what to expect over the coming weeks.
Once dropped back at Gloria's (my host for the time i'm here) I decided to go out for lunch, so visited the same taco restaurant as I did for lunch yesterday, and for the first time practicing some "spanglish" managed to order my food with ease. After a little walk around the city and a haircut costing 80 peso (£3.26) I returned to Gloria's where she had prepared a lovely meal for me with her amazing homemade chili.
An early night for me tonight as I will be starting in the emergency department at 08:00 tomorrow.
