Nicosia, Cyprus
After 11 days spent with the Erasmus students of Nicosia, Cyprus, I would now like to make it official that Gage and I are old. Nothing can leave a person more convinced of this fact than trying to keep up with a hord of university students only to find that their body is now completely incapable of the 3 hour turn-around that it once was. As Gage and I lay on the floor of Dominika’s apartment at 2pm, having just woken up, we reflected upon the distinct memories we had of staying up until 5am, only to wake up at 8am and head into class. I even remember marveling at how wonderful a person could feel after only three hours of sleep. I now marvel at the students who woke up and left the house at 9am to go sightseeing while I slept in until 2pm. Logically speaking, these people should have been complete zombies, however I could not ignore the fact that zombies have little interest in sightseeing and are certainly much less tan than these people appeared to be. And so in conclusion, these two-legged towers of bottomless energy turned out to indeed be human, just a lot younger.
