Day 7

Working in the Kindergarten, I am treated as an adult. However, I am actually at the awkward age where I am directly in the middle of the kids and adults. I don’t wear diapers yet can fit in the children’s chair and I can talk but I still choose legos over chatting. When talking about my weekend in Belgium, my coworker Markus was shocked that I had a drivers license, and I even showed him and told him I got my permit at 15. Dana (in my host family) turns 18 in October and she is still driving with an adult under her permit. Even Camryn Friedman is driving before her! However, Markus was even more shocked that I was not going to partake in any Belgium beer drinking (the legal drinking age here is 16) and that in the US we have to be 21. Different regulations lead to very different cultures indeed. Today at work was mostly normal but with an outing to a nearby water playground pictured below!
