Spring time, feeling good!

Hey y'all! It is spring! It's lovely. The city is getting more beautiful all the time. The flowers, the trees, the sun, the scents of different flowers, the warm breeze... A couple of weeks ago it was like summer, but now it's raining. But hey, there's lots of good weather to come, just be patient.

It's not only spring outside though. There's a spring in me! :D Really.

When I came here, I felt a bit lost, and a bit lonely from time to time. I didn't really know where to put myself and where to grab on.

Getting used to your new environment as an exchange student was utterly easy. You were put to live in the same house, study on the same courses and party together with the same awesome people, and of course you immediately made a lot of friends with whom you spent a lot of time with, and who were in the exact same position as you were. So, with these incredible memories in mind I came here. And of course it's different when you go to another country alone. Thoughts like "am I ever going to have as much fun as I did before" were going through my head although I tried to be positive.

But my feelings started to change pretty much immediately after I started to get more friends. I can probably point out on a calender that "after this and this party and these get-togethers and this weekend trip I started to feel pretty damn happy!" :D

Dear everyone, if you are in this situation, trying to work your way in a new environment, new country, new culture, trying cope with the everyday life and enjoy it at the same time, I have an answer to you. And this is not just based on my own experience, but also on what I have heard from so many other people living in a foreign country.

Things get better, easier and more fun, when you meet new people and get friends. You start to enjoy your life in the new place, and the problems you have been experiencing, they don't feel that heavy anymore. Some people make good friends instantly, for some people it might take 3 weeks, and for some people it might take 6 months. But the thing that connects these people, is that their lives changed from the shades of gray into bright colors after they started getting friends and booking their evenings with dinner parties, karaoke nights, and random get-togethers...

Smile, and let the spring come into you! :)

Here are some pics from what it is like at the moment in Prague.

The same park (which is on may way to work) last week.

Rain and rain... but it'll get better, I'm sure about that! :)
