One week down..

Well one week of classes is done, three more weeks to go. Class is very interesting. There are five students in the class, 3 from Holland, 1 from Germany and myself. That pretty much sums up the non-spanish people in this town too, the Dutch are an overwhelming majority of the non-spanish people in this town. The remainder are French, Swedish and a few Americans. You can unfortunately always pick out the Americans... They are the only ones talking about America as if it it is a wonderous place of modern technology and mystery. We ran into one guy who was sitting around talking to a few people from Holland (one of which was my roommate) and he honestly said (and I quote) "In America we have these things called freeways that are 4 or more lanes for cars, they?re huge".... The Dutch guys just kinda of looked at him and said "ya.. umm we have those too". Just a reminder for the Americans that may be reading this blog "Many of the countries in Europe are modern, developed countries...honest" Ok so back to my classes, they are going well. There are five of us in the class and our instructor, Maria, who speaks very little english (everyone else speaks english). It is quite interesting.. We are learning a lot though. Ok I?m done with the internet. I?ll try to upload pictures sometime in the next week...
