I can't give you a complete update, but I will update you from New York up until a few days ago.
I left New York with no troubles at all. It is actually a lot easier than I thought; the flight being only about 6 hours and 45 minutes from "the states" to Germany. I wrote this on the plane:
Let it be known that this is coming from a 21 year old punk kid that jumped at an opportunity. For my own reputation I would also like to add that my longest flight prior to this one was 4 hours. This one is closer to 7.
Next to me sits a man in his polo shirt and pinstriped suit. He's got at least 3 papers; two in German, one in English.
There is a six hour time difference between New York and Germany. Dinner on this flight was served at about 7pm in New York. Breakfast 5:30 in Dusseldorf - 11:30 to my body. That is something I, unfortunately, am not accustomed to, dinner and breakfast a mere nap away.
Right before breakfast came I was handed a wet cloth with a pair of tongs. Now, this is a hard thing to judge, so I can't be certain, but I think that the skin on my hands cannot tolerate heat as well as the skin on others hands. Polo/suit handled his just fine. I briefly participated in my own private game of hot potato. I won. And lost.
I then proceded to look around to see what to do with me new, hot gift. Promptly I put my socks back on my feet.
(In my defense I was tired, caffeinated, and highly excited.)
I will just add the highlights of the places I've been so far.
Dusseldorf - Salsa dancing, where my host for the duration of my stay let me step on her feet.
Amsterdam - The fact that the building are falling into each other or out of line with the others.
Utrecht - no comment.
Berlin - the people in the hostel and the art collective I visited.
That is it for now, until later...
can't go wrong with salsa dancing especially with someone who steps on your feet.
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteTeaching English in Poland sounds amazing by the way, that's a great opportunity.
