Once the excitement dies down, you begin to miss you\u2019re home, family, friends, lifestyle. However, so far I feel great! Of course I miss my family and friends but it\u2019s hard to miss home when you are constantly travelling or meeting new people! In all honesty, I think when I return home, I\u2019ll have reverse culture shock. My friends and I travelled to London for the weekend and it was an amazing experience. We stayed in a hostel (which I had never done before) and it killed most of the prejudices and misconceptions I had. It was very interesting to see how different London was to Rome, even though they are so close. London\u2019s transportation was always on time. It was efficient and clean. Rome\u2019s transportation is completely unreliable. In London, you\u2019re tickets are checked and rechecked whereas in Rome, if you pay or not is basically up to ur own moral judgement. Even the people were different. In London, people were less friendly, they minded their own business and appreciated quick movements and had no time to stop. In Rome, people take their time to greet everyone, their loud and laid back and even take naps in the middle of the day!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is not to say that one country is better than the other. It\u2019s to show that each country has it&#8217;s own charm and way of life even though they\u2019re quite close! I can\u2019t wait to travel to other countries and compare them to Rome as well. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before studying abroad everyone talks about how you have culture shock and you get homesick.
