We went to a movie and I was so excited and there were all these tickets prices . . . in french. So we go to the counter and Greg speaks french and I just stand there like I am brainless. So we pay $20 to see a movie and we only ever went to the dollar theater before. Friday night and I'm dressed up and so excited and we walk in and no one is there. Friday night! Where are the people! And during the previews we see 5 different pairs of breasts on the big screen. Wow, free porn with the movie. Another great perk we get in Europe.
I hate our shower. I don't even know if it's 3 square feet. You're in it and the water is spraying everywhere- impossible not to get in your eyes or not be in the water for a moment. Impossible to shave your legs. I lather up my hands to get my feet and by the time I reach them the water has rinsed it all off. I have to balance on one foot to shave my legs. And water never stays IN the shower. Puddles everywhere, and not little ones. And the worst part. The curtain. It just billows in no matter what we try. It just flows inwards and sticks to you. Gross! Who wants that on their naked body? I'll be showering and in it comes and I'm backing away and sucking in my stomach and it is an inch away and I'm not moving trying to avoid this thing like it's a monster in a freakin' scary movie. Ah, well . . . oh well.
We get to the movies and somewhere in the previews I just start crying and can't stop. Crying about everything. And then I have to blow my nose right? But I can't because I don't want to have to pay ANOTHER 35 cents to use the bathroom. Why do I have to pay more $ to use the bathroom when we already paid $20 to see the movie! What is wrong with this country!!!! It made me mad. Oh well. Things are good. I suppose I was just missing America today.

Oh Megan, I am so sorry. I can't believe those previews! How horrible! It will all be okay. I guess this is good timing for you to get to come home and see some family for a bit. I hope you get feeling better! I love you!!!
I seriously cannot believe they charge to use the bathroom. I literally would be broke. I got pee EVERYWHERE. I always know where all the bathrooms are wherever we go, because I've used every one of them. You are such a good writer...really funny and witty. Well, I wasn't disappointed that you had to come back to the states. Mom said you guys worked it all out and she'll take you to the aiport. I called around to a lot of hotels and pretty much they all have shuttles, but don't run that early, and you have to take a taxi ($7) but you had said you didn't want to ride in a taxi alone, so I was stuck for an answer. I'm glad you talked to Mom. I'm sorry if it was stressful talking to me about it. I wasn't able to think very quick when we were on the phone because I was babysitting 4 kids, ages 3 and under. It was hectic and I'm sorry if I didn't sound understanding. I really am excited for you to come and would drive anytime to the airport at 3am if it meant I got to see you. Love you both!!!
That sounds like no fun, but memorable no fun. It's so awesome that you guys are over there, together.
Also, if you just take dried beans (pinto and black) then you could fit more weight in your suitcase. GL.
Megan, I am so sorry that you have to be away from your comfort zone. The year will pass quickly, and then walla you will be back to the land that you love. I felt like I was a long way from home when I was in S. Dakota, and especilly on the reservations. However the water and the bathrooms were free there, and I could read the labels etc! It is hard to live where you feel like an alian, and don't understand the people, you feel lonely and it sometimes gets pretty scary. Say your prayers and read your scriptures and love Greg, and you'll be happier, I promise. Just keep repeting that this soon will pass. I love you so much and I will be praying for you. Grandma
Megan I forgot just turn the water on and lotion up your legs, turn the water off, shave turn the water back on and soap down and rinse it off. and then it will be over!!! Maybe you need a new shower curtain. Look for one in the states. I love you grandma
I'm sorry but for some reason that made me laugh. I do feel bad for you though! Crazy, I think all Americans should live in another country for a few weeks so they can appreciate our wonderful country. Your shower- crazy! love you!
oh also THANK YOU for blogging!!! It makes you feel not so far away!
love you!
I am glad that you get to come back and get all of those food things that you have been missing. It's funny to think that you will be smuggling beans and cheese. I would miss reeses pb cups.
Greg--I found another solution to your hulu problem: http://gpass1.com/gpass/
It should work, with less ads. What's your email?
Oh Megan, I love reading about your adventures in Europe. It makes me laugh. Well, I guess you need to stock up on tissues while you are here too! Travel safe when you go home!
Megan, this post made me laugh! Especially the shower curtain...it sounded so funny and scary at the same time!
Thanks for the entertaining stories!
yowsa, I can't believe all that you have to pay for- and the shower! That is aweful! I'm so sorry- why don't you put a hole on each side of teh curtain- and tie each side to the wall so it will stay stiff and straight instead of going in and stickign to you? I love you so much- it was great talking to you! Yowsa on the porn in the movie theatre.
A womans breasts are not porn.
