Cultural Negotiations

I had this conversation with some of my other friends here in Paris, and we all agreed that traveling definitely tests your character. It's already been 17 days in Europe and I have definitely learned a lot about who I am and how to work with others.

I finally had my cultural breakdown a few days ago. I knew it would happen and it finally did when I got to Paris. I just became frustrated with now knowing the language and being lost. It almost happened in Prague too, but I think it was too early into the trip to lose control. I don't blame you, Paris. I'm just a little exhausted from being a foreigner and having to adjust.

I'm still having a great time abroad though! It's been fun meeting a bunch of people (the accounting kids are cool too). There are still a lot more memories to come.
