So the group from the University of Eau Claire thought it would be a great idea to share the American custom of Thanksgiving with all of the Internationals. There was wonderful food and everyone participated. It wasn't like my traditional Thanksgiving where I sleep in a wait for my mother to make everything. Everyone participated by making something traditiional from their home countries. I bei
Okay so I don't really know the date of this trip but I do believe it was in November. The date really doesn't matter. This place was in the middle of nowhere.

I didn' t know what to expect or the
It was a Tuesday morning in my French 201 class and my instructor announced that we had a guest speaker. The speaker was a tall but plump man from the school of business. He was there to talk to us about studying abroad. He told us all the great things that can come from it. He told us that it can open up doors and put you ahead of the game when it came to job interviews and gradu
I don't remember if this was actually on November 5 or not. All I remember is it is after Oct 31. The reason was that some of our group was in Russia. We were going to reserve a bar but we would have to of paid for it. We were all very cheap and poor so we decided that we would just try to take over the bar. We went to the Orange Bar in Riga and take over it is what we did. Many of our grou
Me and my friend Doug are off to another Pearl Jam concert. This will be my 11 time seeing them I think. We left around 12007amDestination United Center. It is a long but well worth it drive to see the best live bandIMO. I was not very bright the night before because I got like zero sleep. This meant that I was up a very long time and all of my days were so screwed up after the show.

This was me and Gregs first real outing together. It was a wonderful experience. We went to the castle and realized that the bus was going to leave soon and we were really far from the station. We decided to hitchhike. Many cars passed and it seemed hopeless until a man stopped. He picked us up and started talking to us. We told him our situation and that we wanted to go to the station. He
