24 Hours In, Comfortably Uncomfortable
In 24 hours we went from a comfortable suburb in Indiana, across the world to a foreign land. Is it everything we thought it would be? I am definitely out of my comfort zone.

Kindness From Strangers

There are those who have helped us with understanding languages or cultural differences or have helped us overcome getting around on local transportation. For all of this we are very thankful, but one of our greatest memories is from our honeymoon—when we were trying to hide out from everyone—a wonderful couple was right next door whom we ended up forming a friendship with.
