Europeans

I really do like the Europeans, and the European way of life. I pretty much just walk around all day, stop at any sights or galleries that catch my eye, and enjoy a leisurely lunch at a cafe by a canal. I mean, I am going to have to figure out when and how I will ever get any more work done, but so far I have to admit I have been really enjoying a simple life. My calves are really sore from all the walking though! It is hard to get started once I have sat down somewhere.

The food is really freaking rich though! I had a slice of pizza and all I could taste was the butter. It tasted like I was eating one giant stick of butter. Most times that wouldn't be such a bad idea, but I'm not too sure about butter flavored pizza.

What I've really learned from the Europeans so far is that it is good to connect with people and be open, but connecting most definitely does not mean agreeing. It is good to say no and push the argument a little bit. I usually kind of strive to find common ground a little too much, even trying to find the small parts of opinions to agree with even if I don't agree with the overall message. It's a lot more fun be more like "hell no, its more like this..."
