So I’ve been in this beautiful country for 2 weeks and it has not disappointed one bit.<\/p>\n

Boring stuff out of the way first: the first week was orientation so no classes or anything there. Then last week was the first week of classes, but nothing terribly difficult or noteworthy happened with those.
