Heya guys, Ok from your journal it sounds like you are having a crap time!! Do you put it down to culture shock and missing home??....... even so, you got to make the most of your trip, make everyday have something good about it, something you enjoy, thats the reason you are out there for. Enjoy it, its a rare experience that you have put a lot of money towards......... i can understand its not the nicest of places, and i would be thingiong that anything remotely dirty was repulsive! lol. but its all part of the experience, and just accept that they have a whole different world and be possitive, its not forever and just think next year you will be working ur lil ass of and partying at uni cheers for your email and messages miss you guys! i'm home for 2 weeks on saturday and you guys wont be there :-( love you long time!!!
