Dublin
As I enter my taxi at 6:50 am, I am filled with excitement flooded over by anxiety; anxiety of traveling to a whole other country by myself. Yes, I traveled to England by myself, and I am the only person here with American cultural background. Yet, sitting in the taxi, I started to doubt myself. …
Chester

¡Fui a un Espectáculo de Flamenco!/ I went to a Flamenco Show!
Castellano: España es un país que gracias a Dios tiene una gran cultura que difunde mundialmente. Como mencioné en el último blog hay muchas regiones dentro de tan pequeño país y cada región con su propia cultura.
