First Impressions

Well, I made it! It was a long day of traveling, but aside from some really rough nausea-inducing turbulence, I had a decent trip. I got to the apartment at about 3 pm local time (7 am CST), but the bus dropped us off only at the hill before our apartment. And that was the kicker of my journey--after being awake for 24 consecutive hours, I had ( Read more... )

First of all, I would like to mention that this journal was not intended for anyone other than my family and friends to keep updated on what I’ve been up to here. I also like to tell them what it’s like in Greece from an American perspective. I’m not saying it’s an underdeveloped country by any standard, but by the American standards that I and my acquaintances are accustomed to, Greece is a fairly drastic change that I feel we were not entirely prepared for.

Shannon,
I'm glad to hear that you made it also. It sounds like you have adjusted well so far. I hope that you have a amazing time in Greece.
Also, you are not missing much here in America. Today in Fargo, it was -13 for the high. So, your 40 sounds much better then what it is here.
Hope to hear more from you soon!!!
