My First Week

So its been a whole week. A lot has happened and I can't think of a better start to a trip. Despite missing certain things about home, I am certainly not regretting making the trip at all and I could only hope every week is this good.

Work
So I don't think I need to talk about work too much but just wanted to mention that it was a great first week. Everyone I already had regular contact with in the US was happy to see me and I am happy to be working 1:1 with them instead of solely through email. There is also a new group of people I have met simply because of where I am currently sitting. I am sitting in the sales area and everyone there is very nice. They have been including me in going out to lunch and just having nice conversations with. Hopefully I will continue to build relationships with more and more co-workers every week as I become more familiar.

Food
So far the food I have had has been GREAT! I have yet to be disappointed, and most times I am presently surprised. Even though I have a small kitchen I have tried to get out and go to a few restaruants this week just to be around people and see how things are. Every night is a little different. Some nights I have a nice conversation with the bartender and others I end up not talking to anyone. Hopefully as I become more and more comfortable, these quiet nights will end :)

Here are a few small examples of some food I've had

I made some pasta in my apt one night

Had some cottage cheese on a cracker at the office (not something I would usually try)

Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken. Probably the best thing I have had so far from a restaurant

Some Local Beer :)

I thought I had taken more pictures. I guess not. Ill get better at this
