So I've had a really exciting time so far. The transportation here is amazing but there's also a lot of walking. I've figured out that high school is boring in every language. I love traveling so much it's such a thrill and being able to communicate with the locals is very satisfying. I've been to more places in Belgium then most of the belgians I know which is a weird thought. I miss a lot of things from the U.S. but when I go home ill miss so much from here.

My life here has been so busy. Exploring the country has been so much fun. They celebrate on Christmas eve here in Belgium.  For Christmas eve we went to my host mothers family party. It was very different for many reasons; one being they are Chinese and are not Christians, two being it was Christmas eve. For New Years Eve I went to a friends house and we did karaoke with her family. I just switched families and now i have to take the bus which is a very new experience for me.
