A woman I was in love with is heading to Germany. Another person was going to flee to Germany after Trump's election. Another friend was visiting Germany. When talking about an art program, a teacher mentioned Germany. And I've wanted to look at lots of historic castles in Europe and my brain gravitated to Germany BEFORE all of these other times Germany came up. I'm looking forward to any info or pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment

CallunaTook Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 12 hours ago, StarlordPhoenix said: This past week was TERRIBLE. I don't know if it is the stress of traveling and a new life style finally hitting me, the diet change (I eat with the family here), or just my body freaking out, but it has been one of the most physically and mentally draining weeks I have had in awhile (minus times I have been sick, of course). My joints have been aching for no reason (I am 23 and have no history of injury), I often get headaches (once normal for me in high school, but not normal anymore), often feel lightheaded or dizzy, and I feel physically exhausted and aggravated ALL the time. I am trying to do what I can (get enough sleep, drink plenty of water, take vitamins/minerals), but so far that is not helping much. 1 One of my besties used to be an au pair. She said that she had a group of au pair friends she'd hang out with, kind of like an au pair support group. Do you have anything like that? If so, they might be able to help with tips on how to handle the stress of so much change all at once, since they'd also experienced it. Good luck with next week - I hope it goes better. Adventuring ain't easy... 2 Quote Link to comment

Hrm.... Well the beer I couldn't care less about but the pasteries... I live in Rhode Island and a big section of the state is Italian . I'm half Italian (largest %) along with being Scottish, German, American Indian, etc. How you describe the little shops over every corner is what it's like here. If you go further down south, that mom&pop pizza shop vibe starts to disappear. A main reason that if I move, it's NOT going to be in Bumfuck, Nowhere. I want a place that has a lot of personality. For some reason, I think Chicago, Philly, or NY in the USA.

Culture shock can sort of leave some people feeling unsure of anything about themselves as they transition to another culture. It's like people challenge, "Do I feel this way because I was conditioned this way?" but for every question about the self. 1 Quote Link to comment
