Cultural Adjustments

My sole purpose in choosing Spain was to improve my Spanish. During my time here, I've not only made progress with the language but also gained valuable insights about myself. I'm becoming more attuned to the local accent and the pace at which people speak. They tend to shorten their words, dropping S’s or cutting them in half. It's interesting to note that this linguistic trait is also present in Cuban and Puerto Rican dialects, which has been an unexpected advantage for me. It's made me realize just how deeply rooted I am in Caribbean culture.

Missing Out

There is some point where we've all thought about it. What if there's a group chat with everyone except me? What if there's a party going on that only I wasn't invited to? What if everyone has plans this weekend except me? If you've never felt FOMO, then I and the other 98% of the world really envy you. But thoughts of FOMO is something I'm quite sure most people can relate to.

Weeks 3 and 4 - Buenos Aires

I had a wonderful time visiting my friends in Córdoba, Argentina this past weekend. We spent our time exploring the city, eating delicious food, and just hanging out. I got to meet my friend's families and spend time with them alongside just catching up with my friends and talking about what had happened in our lives recently. The friends I was meeting I had not seen since my high school study abroad in Belgium five years ago. I'm so glad I got to spend time with my friends and experience a city other than Buenos Aires so I could get more of the “small town” Argentina.

My Favorite Cafe In Amsterdam

All across Amsterdam you will find wonderful, quaint cafés, generally open from mid afternoon until the early hours of the following day. The American perception of a “café” is anything from a Starbucks to an upscale coffee brewer, but it’s just that: a place to get coffee, and maybe to do work or meet someone for a quiet chat. Cafés in Amsterdam are in general more social places. It’s perfectly normal to go to a café in the afternoon, get a coffee, and do some homework. You might see people reading, or perhaps playing a game of chess.
