“But that's the glory of foreign travel, as far as I am concerned. I don't want to know what people are talking about. I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.”
-Bill Bryson Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe
This pretty well sums up my every day over here, more or less. Also, if you're looking for a good, entertaining read, this is it! While reading this book, I'd literally chuckle out loud. Often while reading in a coffee shop, probably to the dismay of those around me. Check it out- I promise you won't regret the read!
