Omg…I didn’t realize how helpless I am in a foreign country. It’s really kind of intimidating at the beginning. I was so stupid that I didn’t buy an adaptor in the US, so now I have to use a public computer to write this blog entry. Nonetheless, so far the people I’ve met are quite nice. This 7-feet tall German living across my room can speak fairly well English, and my other flatmates and my co-workers are extremely friendly, which is comforting after such a long journey (well, not very long, but feels long), jetlag, not to mention the loneliness in a foreign country. The most difficult thing is that I have no money to use right now, as the exchange rate here is better than in the states but the extra fee can cost quite a fortune. Therefore it's only worth it if I change a large amount of money at a time. But my extremely nice mentor let me borrow 50 euros, and hopefully it can last for a week (need to be very frugal here).
