Things have been of the wall recently! This weekend was our first inbound orientation. I thought it was gonna be in some boring, cheap hotel, but it wasn't! It was in a resort on the beach, but since it's winter here, no one was there! I did dance in the waves though, even though it was freaking cold! Some kids swam, but I wasn't brave enough. Instead while they were swimming, three other girl exchange students and I walked in the surrounding town. We bought Inca Kola and ice cream of course! My favorite ice cream, is vanilla and lucuma covered in chocolate!!! Then we climbed a hill with a cross on it! They are everywhere here. Maybe I'll start a collection! That night, I got to write in my diary with the waves pounding outside my window! What a beautiful weekend!
The views of people here are so different than how, as a general population, we think in the US. If you don't greet someone, it is soooo rude! Like, really insulting! And they don't eat vegetables as part of a usual meal out! It's all meat! I love it!
I also have realized how different someone from the same country as you's views can be too! I was talking to the other exchange students this weekend, and I heard somethings that I hadn't even heard of before! It was very eye opening with the semiars, but also the other students.
That was my weekend in a nutshell I think!
