Before getting on the plane I popped a few tylenol PM in hopes of getting some sleep and also preventing my ankle from swelling. Needless to say sleep didn't come too easy but there was pretty good food on the flight and my ankle didn't swell up too much. Riding the trains and the bus to campus was a little intimidating but the locals were very helpful and made the trip very easy. Upon arriving I found that our houses look more like shipping containers or trailers.
There are 9 people to each shipping container where everyone has their own room with a desk, bed/couch, and a wardrobe. Also there is a communal bathrooms, washer/dryer, and kitchen/dining room. The Kitchen was a bit of a mess, but I'm not too sure if I will really be cooking that much.
One shock is the change in currency, a loaf of bread costs 25 Krones (about $4.50) and not only the conversion the money truly looks like monopoly money to me.
I think that now I will probably try and catch up on some sleep. I think tomorrow a group is going to the beach which should be quite a good time. Not sure if there will be any big celebrating for 4th of July but I'm sure there will be something.

Glad you arrived safely - hope you took some warm clothes - looks like it is fairly cool there!
