Happy and awkward in general. I laugh a lot. I just moved to Germany last November from the Philippines (for masters). Definitely no place like home, but all the same, no place like 'here' either. So 'here' I am -- in Europe, wonderfully. As an Asian, really eager to explore and get to know this culturally, historically (and literally) rich western chunk of world, but also want to keep it to my modest student budget for now. Only hosted in the past, but now just about to start learning the surfing part. Promise I'm a clean, respectful guest, and not a psycho. 👍🏽 That's it mainly, I guess. Peace and ramen!
