Truly a surreal experience

Studying abroad is an experience I think everyone should try at least once in their life. The experience really is ground breaking, and quite incomprehensible to explain in words. Culture shock, being completely lost physically and mentally, and all the little but numerous helpful interactions with locals: it's something you can not explain. Studying abroad really alters your viewpoint on the world in the best way possible. Even the simple things of ordering food is vastly different compared to back home.
