P.o.I. Points of Interest

So lately, my posts have been roughly the same length as a romance novel. I had an idea where I could just post some random things and follow up with a sentence or two for easier reading. Enjoy!
-Today is my 100th day here. One third of my year here gone already! It's so hard to imagine.
-Exchange students love letters! Especially ones with robots on the envelopes and with drawings of tigers, pickles, and whales on a sheet of paper on the inside. Thanks Char and Julia!
-In Lithuania, people drink coffee and tea a ton! Also, the coffee isn't filtered. The grounds are scooped into a mug and you add water. Of course you don't drink the grounds, filters were a considered a luxury.
-Sandwiches are open-faced. There's only one piece of bread so it's not technically a sandwich by my 'American standards'.
-I haven't seen a squirrel here! I've been told they have them, but they're in the countryside, not in the city.
-Looks are much more important here. Outfits and everyday clothes are more put together and nicer than what I'm used to in the States. People aren't superficial though. It's just the way the lifestyle is.
-Jewelry (Corey, this is for you!) is also nicer. There are no Sillybandz, friendship bracelets, or Brasilian wish bracelets. It's nicer, simpler jewelry like a ring with one stone or pearl-like earrings or a nice necklace. People don't wear the same necklace every day too. I still wear one of mine almost ever day, it's from my mommy!
-School is much more advanced. It seems like they learn a lot more before university here. In biology for example, they seem to learn much more about the structure of cells. We learn the basics and if we want to study more, we can take an advanced class or learn more once in college.
-Its cold. It's about the same as Michigan winters though.
-There are no snow days. There are 'cold days' though. If it's -25 C, there's no school.
-Public transportation. I miss driving so much, but having public transportation is really nice. The busses can be extremely crowded in the morning and smelly people like to ride the bus, but it's definitely nice to have.

And to keep this short and simple, I'm going to end it. I tried changing the comments section so anyone can comment, but I don't think it worked, so you can send me an email at browneyedgirl.ekf@gmail.com if you wish!
