Presque 2010!

Day before New Years and I am so excited for tomorrow! Going out with some friends and getting super dressed up. We are going to party like it's 11 years after 1999!! I've been pretty sick the past two days, but with some good rest and medicine, I'll be ready for tomorrow.

I feel savvy about pretty much everything here - and really different in fact. When I first arrived I thought a lot of things wouldn't surprise me but that is not the case at all. Things still surprise me all the time. Not nearly as much as when I first arrived - but little everyday things that don't happen in the U.S.

I don't know if a lot of people read this blog (above all because I haven't made a lot of entries) , but it's a little difficult for me to write about things that right now are completely normal. It's hard to discern now between the things that would be completely foreign to Americans or not too different. There is so much to say!

Because of this, I would love if anyone who reads this blog to respond with things that strike them as strange or just strikes their interest, by asking questions - any question! If you have a questions regarding cultural differences, mentalities, diversity, stereotypes... It doesn't matter what the topic, nothing should be taboo in this world because everything is of importance, whether it is good or bad.

I wish everyone out there a Happy New Year and would love to respond to things that cross your mind!
