I have been in Europe now for four months. It is weird to think that I have not seen my fam or my country for that long. It Europe has had an affect on me, it is one that I can only feel I do not know what it is though, but is their. I have seen new concepts, to me at least in urban planning, such as Kampii in Helsinki Finland. Being able to experience this building or city inside a building has inspired me to look at how to incorporate ones needs into a single structure, such as housing, food, transportation, parking, entertainment, and shopping. for me Europe is new it has not been what I have expected. I imagined a place that was ahead of the US, which they are in thought, but not infrastucture. Internet, printing, and other sources of technology that I have had at my finger tips in the U.S. has been a struggle to find especialy for a cheap price. For my first time in this place I have been inspired, but have learned about the false ideas that americans have been fed about this place it is not better than the U.S. but different. Sometimes this difference is better, but some times it has caused frustration and disappointment. This my Europe in 2007.
