Welcome to Gustavo's life. He is a 17-year-old born and raised in Oaxaca, Mexico. I am very excited to share some of his experiences and life here in Mexico. I met Gustavo because he is my host brother, and we have shared many meals and conversations about TV shows, family and interests in language learning. His life is very interesting and is just one example of a 17-year-old in Mexico. I have written this piece using Gustavo's voice.
In Oaxaca, the custom is to eat a small breakfast, a large lunch, better known as "la comida," and a small dinner. I like to eat eggs for breakfast, steak with rice for lunch, and tuna with crackers for dinner. Hot chocolate and conchas for dessert.
My house has seven bedrooms and three bathrooms. It's been in my family since my grandparents. There is a huge garden and patio that opens to the outside. It is a house designed with Spanish architecture, and it includes multiple patios and parts of the house outside.
