They do both and very often. I mean I love to be surrounded by a lot of people. It doesn't matter what age they are, I enjoy sharing my time with children, young, and old people. But I also enjoy my solitude. I think this made me stronger at the beginning because of the lack of the language.
Many people tend to be upset about being in a place for first time.
But at that time I was strong enough. I learned how to survive without my Latin friends. It can sound a little bit strange, but in one of those moments I had time to think about my goals and my priorities. Coming back to the main point of this writing, I insist on my having great memories. Actually I think I have been in some other places, but I don't remember right now.
