So it has been almost a month since I blogged last, but I
figured that would be the case since I knew it would be crazy busy being back
in the States for three weeks. As I write this I am sitting at the airport
waiting to leave to head back to Germany. I still can’t believe that it has
already been three and half weeks. It seems as if I just arrived a few days
ago. Honestly looking back I can’t really say it was a relaxing three weeks,
but it definitely had its moments. Culture shock was rough at first and I think
the top four things I noticed were:
1)
How many overweight people are in America
2)
How many large vehicles there are (I have gotten
used to seeing mainly small compact cars)
3)
How much money it costs to just live everyday
life
4)
How horrible the public transportation is. I
rode the bus for three hours one day just to get into the city. I swear we
stopped at every person’s doorstep. I could have run as fast as the bus.
Instead of writing about everything that I did, I figured it
would be easier to just post lots of pictures and write captions underneath.
Everyone likes looking at pictures rather than reading words.
