Broken Escalators Are Simply Stairs

Well this has been quite the week! Earlier this week, I was really considering flying home. I just didn't feel like myself. Its rough being shy and being in a new culture where people aren't extremely outgoing, but I'm managing. I talked to many people, and we decided I would stay, obviously. I think I decided this when I was thinking 'If someone walked up to me, right now, and handed me a plane ticket to Traverse City, would I take it?'. I never could bring myself to think I would say "Yes" right away. As a result from this, it has been noticed that I have been spending too much time on Facebook and emailing. I am now taking a break from talking to people over a few hours away from me on Facebook, and drasticaly slowing my Facebook messaging and emails. Hopefully this will lead to more blog posts! I did have a lot to talk about, but I'm too tired so I'll just explain the title of this post. About one block away from my school, there is the second biggest mall in Lithuania, first in Kaunas! Its called Akropolis. When I have a free lesson I'll go there and go to Vero Cafe (pretty much Starbucks) or wander around. Twice now, I was going to go back down to the first floor, and I realized the escalators were 'broken' and I had to walk down them like they were actual stairs. Not many people do that in their lifetime! Its just something I had to share. More soon!
