Public transportation in Europe is wonderful; anyone will tell you that. What they don’t tell you, however, is that you actually have to know how to use the transportation. For the navigationally challenged (read: Lee and Jared), this can be a situation. So, Jared and I got lost. It wasn’t the first time, and it […]

OK, so remember those five other times I’ve mentioned the UW-Stevens Point Student Government Association? Well, guess what I’m going to talk about right now. Crushed it. SGA again.

I’ve gotta say, when you don’t speak the local language, everything becomes a bit of an adventure. I remember Mark Koepke (associate director of UWSP International Programs) telling me, “Well, even though English isn’t the local language, most people speak it pretty fluently.” Actually Mark, approximately 16% of the Hungarian population speaks English; the rest […]

And in the case of many people—not […]
