GSE team in America

Good morning from Leyla as well

Denver really is a nice city, just the right size, not too big, but also plenty to see. We have met so many people, and funnily enough we have also run into our new friends in the city, and that is fun!
It seems that the schedule is loosening up a little towards the end, and I have to say it suits me at least. But, on the other hand, when we have more time, we also have more time to feel homesick and miss the people waiting for us at home. Everybody has been asking what are the biggest differences between our homecountries and U.S. Somehow everything is very similar but yet somehow different. The clothes people have, houses, cars they are basically the same but still you can recognize we're not home. hope someone else in our team can pinpoint it better.

Few peculiar differences:
-the sound of the highway when you're driving on it. We call it the American road sound. it seems that highways are made from pieces so you get this funny dudum sound when driving on it.
-the way to make a bed. I don't know have other's found it as difficult, but I feel I have to fight my way to bed every evening. The sheets are wrapped so tight, there bis many layers of blankets, and on the top the bed is covered half-way with pillows... So you have to dig the bed out first before you can find your way to the dreamland...

just to mention a few. we have to recommend the girls who are coming to Finland and Estonia to start a blog as well, maybe they can describe the differences better!
