The polish thing? Like your blog. Just found it. I mean, I just found the new entries. I'm glad you're having a good time. Would have loved the waterfalls. We just made an experimental film. Micah edited himself as a murderer somehow, even though there wasn't supposed to be a narrative. I will write you a better update. And as always: We miss you, J-Bird. Was that a shout-out to me?

Thank you for writing that out in such a thoughtful, concise way! I do feel that though living with a host family is a "fake" experience, if you're lucky you can form real bonds and relationships that last beyond just your stay in that country. Que lo pases bien, we all miss you here! I strongly agree with everything you said. Thank you for writing that out in such a thoughtful, concise way!

Or at least, what I feel about the whole experience. For me, I've had to really question my motives since I studied (am studying) abroad not once, but twice, and both times in "stereotypical" study abroad European countries. I guess I've come to the conclusion that 1) I recognize that I am extremely lucky to have these opportunities, that 2) I feel that my motives for choosing where to travel are legitimate (which is the most important thing), and 3) I should have fun while I'm at it -- because it IS a difficult thing to do! Sorry, kind of a serious response, but your post brought forth my recent ponderings :) Jonah I think you hit it exactly! Or at least, what I feel about the whole experience.
