This second week of my study abroad experience has been exhilarating. At this point, the program is nearing its halfway mark and I’ve been able to travel to many different cities and areas. Through this, I have experienced a lot of culture shock and stress.
Last Friday, I had my first experience with the train station. And to say the least, it was a very stressful situation. I was able to figure it out quite quickly, but the first 20 minutes I was there, I felt entirely overwhelmed. But that experience had plenty of benefits, because I was able to see the city I’ve been dreaming of since I was a kid.
