I have been feeling increasingly frustrated with the crappy internet connection so I decided to walk around the apartment to see if there was a stronger connection anywhere else... if I sit by the front door then i get 100% coverage :-D ....The downside, I have to sit by the door, and there is not a plug point close by, however 2 bars of internet were not doing it for me.
Also two nights ago I went to observe a class at one of the other schools where we met a really friendly girl from the States, after a few minutes of speaking she asked Jose if he was Mexican, she thought it was funny because she had never met a Mexican with an English accent before.
