Experiential Blog #5

Overall, I have been very happy on this trip. I normally am not a very expressive person in general and not much has changed with that. I have felt I cannot express as much in certain locations, because it may be too loud, etc. I try to stay very neutral with everyone, so keeping my expressions to a minimum is key. I am not exactly sure with how everyone feels; however, it seems to me that others may be a little more expressive and/or emotional than I am (for both the group and the people of Czech Republic). The people of Austria seemed a little more stoic and did not seem they desired interaction with tourists. Personally, I love people. Even the Austrians. It is so interesting to me observing how different people interact. It has shown me that different culture do not all act like ours, which can be frustrating at times. It is a very fun thing to think back on, and it makes me want to travel to many other places to see how they might interact.
