It's been a few days since I've posted, but worry not, you haven't missed a thing! Sciatic nerve pain and my poorly reconstructed knee's refusal to cooperate with my travel plans, made for a rather uneventful week. This unanticipated break gave me a chance to apply for jobs, fill out visa paperwork, and get my CV (Curriculum Vitae) out to as many employers as possible.
My language skills are really coming along and I'm able to have hours long conversations with people without saying "pardon" every other sentence. It's all about comfort. If I am with people that I am comfortable with, I take in the entire segment of the conversation as a whole, piece it together, and a response has never been a problem for me. When you are confronted with direct questioning, you tend to try to translate word-for-word what the other person has just said and you will sit there like one o'clock half-struck.
It looks as though the weather is improving slightly so I may get a chance to get some new snapshots of the city. Stay tuned and thanks for following!
