Hi! Sorry its been so long, I've been kept busy by host families and UWP stuff, and wifi is limited.
Europe is amazing. I've met so many amazing people, and everyone is so friendly! Hasslet was an amazing start. My host family took me to explore the city, as well as Brussels, which was equally amazing. I experienced some awesome Belgian food (Fries from the source!) as well as Belgian beer. Also experienced my first bar and first club. Who would have thought it would be in Belgium?
Vise was much smaller, and my host family spoke very little english. Although I thought this would be a huge barrier, it was surprisingly easy to communicate. They took me to Maastricht, a city in The Netherlands, located only 15 minutes away. Although everything was closed, it was still amazingly beautiful. Our show was in a gym that got really hot, everyone was sweating like crazy on stage. I didn't notice though, having to much fun rocking out :-) We were only in Vise for 3 days, and I really wish I had more time to get to know my host family.
Yesterday we went to explore Brussels with the cast. Although I saw Brussels last week, it was still cool to explore on my own. This country is so beautiful, I think I'm gonna have to come back.
Currently I am in Gistel (only 4 days), and my host family's house is only a 10 minute walk from the beach. It was so great to see the ocean again. One thing I've noticed is that the sun looks different here. In the morning and at sunset you can clearly see the circle of the sun, whereas its just a big shiny thing in Colorado.
I'm so happy in Europe. It feels so good to experience a different culture, I'm learning so much. Next week we head to Denmark. I'm so excited to experience another European country :-)
So I'll keep updating weekly, wifi pending. Until then, stay cool yo.
