In Dominica (Not Dominican Republic)

The view is beautiful, the place where Pirates of the Caribbean 2 & 3 was filmed. It's not a lot of tourist here, Chickens and goats are in front of people houses. Also apparently I do not fit in because of my dashiki, The first day here was so amazing I still cant believe I am on this trip. Already I am looking to study abroad this summer which one of my good friends I met on the boat i will be helping me with. I hung out with my other good friends who are from China and it touch my heart that my friend Chin from the Shanghai area actually said I changed her views on African Americans in America. The other day was Chinese new years which I had the experience to join them in there celebration, having the chance to learn about their traditions. So far I have met so many friends and all of them International so I learn something new everyday. I now can officially say I have friends in China, Hong Kong, Sweden, Viet Nam, India, Canada,  Thailand, Brazil and so many other places. This trip so far has been the best thing that ever happened to me. I mean so many open minded people in one place and everyone wants to get to know you, I could not ask for anything better. I will be sad when this trip ends so for now I am trying to make everyday go slow and really get to know how it is to be in a culture and not just a tourist. (10 more day till Brazil!)
