Read MoreGreek Maybe Time
/
I am convinced that every country believes they are the ones who are always late. The Slovakians called off a revolution for being late, the Spanish eat at 10 because they say they were never on time to an 8:00 dinner, and the Greeks are on Greek Maybe Time, or GMT.

When I think of Eastern Europe I think of a run down, old, grey building with broken windows covered in graffiti. You can call me naïve but I have never really ventured outside of Western Europe.

All drugs are illegal in Amsterdam. The famous coffee shops and so-called “legal” weed smoking is actually just as illegal in Amsterdam as it is in the United States. But, drugs, hookers, and the famous red lights are still the main ideas when thinking of Amsterdam.

I am not a good flyer, which is strange because I seem to fly a lot, but the sudden drop from 30,000 feet to start the decent sends shivers up my spine. But as the plane inched closer to Frankfurt Airport I have never been more excited. I loved Asia, but I was ready for the cold air, familiar means of public transportation, and no more noodles.
