The first week has been one of the best, most exciting weeks of the summer for me. Throughout the week one of the first things that I noticed was different was the currency. Of course, I expected the currency system to be different but I did not anticipate how valuable change would become. I find it both good and bad. The good part is its very quick if you want a drink of coffee. The bad is its sometimes inconvenient to pay with anything other than a card because since there is no 1 dollar bill I will usually get three dollars in change if I pay with a 10 dollar bill.
Another thing that surprised me was the how the prison system works in Europe. I had no idea that you can actually leave during the day and come back at night. I also did not know that the sentences are much less in Europe. This is surprising because you think crime would be higher than it is now if the punishments are not as strict.
Overall I have had a great first week and learned so much. I can not wait for the weeks to come. I am really excited to visit the mini cooper and coke factory. I think the worst part was adjusting my sleep schedule which is not bad after a couple days. It has been a great first week and I can't wait for the three more to come!
