My boxes arrived today!! After 3 weeks and a crazy journey, here they are. YAY! If only I could remember what I packed. Remarkably, for such a clothes/handbag/shoes fanatic, I have been surviving just fine on what I brought in my suitcase. So, it's like Christmas in April for me as I rediscover what I packed and have reminders of home to greet me. I only sent 3 medium-sized boxes, and am already thinking I sent too much. Incredible.
One thing I have already learned about living here is that people live with a lot less. The culture here is that you just don't need a lot of stuff, space, etc. Cars are smaller, living spaces are too. People spend time with each other, outside or dining at cafes; except for sport, they are not really glued to their TVs.
It's actually fairly refreshing. While I can't promise not to shop at all (that would seriously be insane), I plan to spend my Benjamin's on travel, great food and this amazing experience. Keep me honest, peeps.
