Body Worlds Museum

!

• Navigated a country with a different primary language (Dutch)

• Toured the Anne Frank House

• Realized an Americano there is served with hot water on the side, not in the coffee

• Went to the Body Worlds museum, where I learned more about human anatomy and how our bodies are impacted by our current lifestyles

• Constantly wondered if what I was doing was culturally appropriate (Can I sit in the grass by a pond? Is that normal here?)

• Walked the endless slim streets and marveled at the canals

I reallyyyyy liked London, and want to go back. Amsterdam was more of just a city to me, beautiful nonetheless.

I'm now in Switzerland at a homestay where I'm working in an organic garden and doing chores around the house for three weeks. I have loved it so far, and I'm excited to give a more detailed update within the next few days. Until then, tschüss! (German for goodbye)
