So today was the first day that the other girls and I actually went out to do stuff by ourselves. We found a little group of stores where we did some shopping and had lunch.
I have to say, the whole time I felt very much too American. We had trouble ordering our lunch so a nice man from here offered to help us. Then we were trying to find a bank to get some money. Every door we tried was always locked so we kind of stood in front of them or knocked on them. Later we found out that they were just supposed to be pushed, not pulled. It was a bit embarrassing, I have to say.
Door trouble seems to be a theme with us though. We can never unlock the door to our building on the first try. It usually takes us about five minutes each time. It's kind of ridiculous. Hopefully we will get better at blending in in the future.
