I have some concerns about going to
First, I don’t know the language. Usually this doesn’t bother me, but the only other countries I’ve been to have been Spanish speaking, except France, but my mom (who is fluent) was there so no worries right? Plus, most other countries speak functional English (and probably more correct English than most Americans, if we’re honest).
The food REALLY scares me. Again, not enough to only eat McDonald’s (because what kind of crappy tourist does THAT?!), but enough to warrant some concern. Mostly about how it’s going to affect me, internally. Also, I hate mushrooms with the fire of a thousand suns and they’re in everything in

have fun!!!!!
