Hi everyone,
Sorry for no updates over that past few weeks. Have been traveling in Europe and having fun visiting a multitude of countries. This last post is here to wrap up that last of my trip and give a little more travel help to those who might be doing an academic study abroad in the future.
So in a quick summary I visited Belgium, Luxembourg, German again, Northeastern France, Italy and Slovenia again as well. I had a great time and saw many cool historical sites, building, museums, etc. Since getting back a week ago all I have been doing is cleaning and packing my room here in Aalborg for checking out and flying home.
So here are the last of the travel hints.
1. When getting ready to leave test pack all your stuff, so you know it will all fit and your luggage is not over weight. In most cases this is 50 pounds or 23 kilograms with most airlines. Most of you will probably have two pieces of luggage since you will be here from 3 moths to a year depending on your study abroad program.
2. Turn in your "Leaving the Country" paper work to the correct authorities and do any other things that are required of you for the leaving processes. In most cases it will probably be really quick but it might depend on your local authorities and the country you are in.
3. Don't forget anything that is important. (i.e. passport, computer, money, etc. etc.) It's kind of hard to go back once you've gotten on the plane and are half way across the ocean.
4. Once on the plane home sit back a relax, because at that point your just along for the 8 plus hour plane ride and you can't really control to much at that point.
5. And the last one have an iPod/iPhone with music, a book to read, or something to do on the plane if you can't sleep. You will get board really fast, and the movie they are playing on the plane is probably not that good to begin with.
So I hope that this Blog has been helpful to a few of you and it has given you confidence to study abroad or did.
So long every one and that is all.
