Language is hard

Had a safe flight over. My first remembered experience on a plane so everything was new and exciting, and we didn't die! So very successful! We landed in Greece around 9 something am. I can't really remember. But planes are scary and exciting and leaves you in awe because everything is so tiny. My first view of Greece was pretty awesome, reminded me a little of home except for all the words I can't understand. I'm learning some though. Slowly, but I am. We went for a tour of the neighborhood where the dorms are and ate lunch. First real feeling of actually being in another country. I can't read the menu and then feel so stupid for not being able to remember any of the words. :/ It's difficult and I'm finding putting letters together is extremely difficult. I also find myself keep wanting to tell the people thank you in English when it should be (going to spell it phonetically) ef-khah-ree-sto, so I end up not saying anything and feel as if I'm being extremely rude. My one success of the day, crossing traffic. No such as thing as jay walking here. Haven't got hit yet, so there's that.
