Is there any difference or similarities in schools in the Czech Republic and in Mexico?
Yes, the size and amount of students that are in Mexican and Czech schools are very different.
Do you like this project and why have you decided to come to the Czech Republic?
I absolutely loved this project. One of the best experiences of my life. Met new people who I’ll carry in my heart forever.
And I’ve chosen the Czech Republic because I wanted to visit Prague many years ago. It was like a dream to me.
What is the biggest difference between the Czech Republic and Mexico that you've noticed?
The order they have in everything.
And also the food. It’s completely different.
What surprised you the most about Czech people, culture, cuisine etc.?
The amount of beer they drink! Hahaha. And also that there are no middle eastern or black people living there.
Have you enjoyed this trip to Central Europe and did you like your stay in České Budějovice?
Of course! I’d love to stay in Budějovice for a bit longer... I have so many good memories from here.
I left my heart in this beautiful city.
Why did you choose the Edison project?
Two years ago I was in the Czech Republic and
I decided in that moment I would come back one more time. And I also want to show my culture to other people.
What do you think is the biggest diference between your country and the Czech Republic?
Maybe the main one might be religion, because you are Christians and we are Muslims.
What do you really like about the Czech Republic and what do you not like?
Ok, what I really like? It might be... Maybe beer, of course, but on the other hand, it is so peaceful here. But not just České Budějovice, Český Krumlov, Prague, Brno... It feels like the other cites in the Czech Republic are all so peaceful. And what
I really don't like? Sometimes people are a bit rough, especially in restaurants if you want something… extra, let‘s say. They get super angry. ■
