Sebastopol World Friends

Well, there goes my plan of being on this trip and avoiding the blog, unfortunately having an hour to kill and Chris and Kim being...well...Chris and Kim, I am forced to express my thoughts and feelings to the world. It is still difficult to get used to my surroundings, I have recently changed host families and that is still rather awkward. Every time I leave my room or look around or don't eat they ask, you need something? you hungry? Its nice that they're thinking of my needs, but the continual yes or no questions are still nerve racking. It is also difficult to realize, even this far into the trip, how far away I am and where I am. Its beautiful really, just watching a world like this, how much slower this world moves and how small and almost insignificant we could all be. I miss most of the things I take fro granted at home, but hey, I'm still around and it really isn't that bad, its kind of nice. Really seeing the world in such extremes is eye opening, its not the polar opposites of culture, its the way of life and of doing things that have really made the impact on me. I really think I have fallen in love with this half of the world, I'm not quite sure why yet, but really its a powerful and wonderful feeling.
