Tourist for the day

I started going to an English club last week. It is a place for locals to come and practice and learn conversational english and a place for us to go to help and make some friends. Usually there is a short lesson and then simple conversations and hanging out with them. Mostly college aged people come. It was really cool last week and I really enjoyed going. Im excited for tomorrow to get to go again. I heard a lot of cool things are happening in the group. I also went to a friends house on Sunday. It was good to be in community with a few families. They were all quite a bit older than me, but I could learn a lot from them. Their children were so fun though. One of the families who works in the office was there. They have three girls (7, 4, and 2 years old) and a boy on the way. These girls were so much fun. They reminded me of some girls at home.

Saturday we went around with a group that is here for a week for a history class. A guy that we know loves the history here, so we went with them to hear the explainations of what things are. It was cool to get around and see tourist sites in the city, even though we were exhausted. I hadnt really realized how crowded the area was until Saturday. I think that part of the city is especially crowded. We got on the tram and were cramed in there like sardines. There were times when my feet werent even touching the ground because the people around me were so close they were holding me up. You wouldnt believe how many people can fit in a tram.
