Soy de California

I have said these three words numerous times over the past two months and it inevitably invokes a great reaction. Whether the reaction is "oh que guai!" (how cool) o "en serio?" (seriously) o "no lo creo" (I don't believe it), or just a nod and smile of acknowledgement, I alway appreciate it.

Today Meeka and I went on a double date with our intercambio friends, Laura and Nerea, and we had such a good time just hanging out and talking with them. In Spanish class, we were discussing general events that can change a person's life. One of them was living in another country and learning another language. For me, I can see that change happening in my life. After living in Spain for only two months, I am beginning to see how other people live and think(particularly Spaniards) differently from me. For this, I am also learning a lot about myself. It's pretty cool :)

As a side note, this past weekend I was fortunate enough to visit my good friend Sarah in Prague. Given that it has been about a year since we have seen each other, we had a great time to say the least. I was pleasantly surprised to find that beer is cheaper than water in the Czech Republic and that per capita, the Czech people drink the most beer in the world- crazy! Well, cheers to catching up with old friends and getting to know new ones! What a blessed life.
