Guanajuato is a state in the central highlands of Mexico. It is named after its capital city, Guanajuato, which comes from the local indigenous language, meaning “Hill of Frogs.” Las Ranas (“the frogs”) is a nickname for people from this state as frogs are their state animal. Guanajuato is the home state of former president Vicente Fox, muralist Diego Rivera and singer-songwriter José Alfredo Jiménez.

After central Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico coast, Guanajuato was one of the first areas of Mexico colonized by the Spanish, in the 1520s, for its rich silver deposits. Guanajuato’s colonial architecture is very well preserved along with more than 35 old churches in its capital alone.In addition to the state capital city of Guanajuato, the state includes the cities of San Luis de la Paz, Acámbaro, Celaya, León, Yuriria, Salamanca, Irapuato, San Miguel de Allende, Salvatierra—the first city of Guanajuato, Cortazar, Cueramaro,Tarimoro, and Dolores Hidalgo, the cradle of Mexican independence.

The first battle in Mexico’s war for independence resulted in a march from Dolores Hidalgo upon the capital of the state and the subsequent burning of the granary which held all the Iberian-born Spaniards (approximately 500 men, women and children), by peasants of pure Amerindian or mixed (Mestizo) descent who had been put to work in very harsh conditions.

Sempre tive vontade de morar fora, e vou ser eternamente grata a Japstudies por ter me proporcionado isto! Desde os preços extremamente acessiveis, a assistência em todo o processo e ainda o suporte dado ao chegarmos lá, foi tudo nota 1000. Hoje de volta em casa, já tenho planos de voltar e conto com a Jap sem dúvidas para tal, onde podemos sempre tirar nossas dúvidas de maneira e fácil e ilimitada. Aconselho sem dúvidas todos aqueles que tiverem o velho friozinho na barriga de fazer o intercâmbio, a falar com um dos funcionários desta mesma e assim se sentir mais confiante e encorajado ao viajar, assim como me senti! =) Meus parabéns pelo trabalho e obrigada por tudo!!

A JapStudies me ajudou a realizar um sonho! Não o sonho de fazer um intercâmbio...mais do que isso, um sonho de voltar ao intercâmbio. Isso só foi possível graças ao “precinho” que só os alunos da JapStudies têm. Todos os funcionários da JapStudies sempre foram muito atenciosos comigo, me ajudando em todo o processo, desde a escolha da escola, visto até o ônibus que eu deveria pegar de Londres para a casa da família em Brighton. Posso dizer que fui uma aluna 100% JapStudies, pois viajei pela Jap, morei na residência da Jap e até trabalhei para a Jap em eventos em Brighton. Hoje sou adviser da empresa.
Mais do que advisers, amigos! Fiz amizade com o pessoal da JapStudies que vai ser para vida inteira, assim espero =)
Agradeço a toda a equipe da JapStudies.com pelo excelente trabalho e desejo a todos os futuros intercambistas uma excelente viagem!!
