Emily and I have decided that we have to figure out why everyone just knows we are Americans. At home if you see someone who looks foreign, you just think "Hmm I wonder where they're from" and move on. Not here. Here they stare at you until they physically cannot see you anymore, say "Hey USA" or "Alo Amerika". How do you know we're American? Why not German, Irish, Swiss, Italian....anything? I feel like we cannot look that different from them, because they stare at us like we have neon signs over our heads. And if we don't speak, how would they know that we're speaking English? It's very weird and a little uncomfortable sometimes. Hopefully after a few weeks everyone will just get used to seeing the American girls walking around and it won't be such a surprise to anyone anymore.
Other than catching everyone's attention, Emily and I are loving being here! We love our anytime of the day makiato e madhe (big machiatto) and of course the Milka chocolate bars. There are croissants filled with nutella that taste like doughnuts, byrek with meat or cheese, amazing ice cream, and a lot of fresh fruits. However, we are determined to find spinach and avocados...they have to be here somewhere, right?
