MX: Day 3 - Altitude sickness and Theater of the Oppressed

I have been suffering from terrible headaches these past two days. I am told it's a combination of acclimating to the altitude and smog, but will hopefully subside in a week. For now, though, it's making me a little miserable.

Today we performed some street theater, acting out scenes of oppression on the streets and having discussions with passersby. I was playing a child in a domestic violence scene in which my dad was punching me. We were frozen in a specific pose. The premise was to engage people into having a dialogue about what they were witnessing and asking them what would they do to change the situation if they could. People were able to physically move us into different positions. It was an interesting exercise and we got a lot of different reactions.

Tonight we ate tostadas from a street vendor. I think it was my best meal so far. Que rico!

Here are my roommates, Michelle and Magdalena. We are having fun together despite the crazy amount of homework and readings we have. :)
