I'm posting the rest of the dance set to Flickr right now. I'm doing it as we prepare to leave, so the photos may not get all uploaded and they may not all get descriptions - but they are up on my Flickr stream ( Read more... )

I'm of two minds, myself, on how I feel about the freedom. I like that they treat me as a grownup. And they seem to give me the space to decide if I can handle something. If I am worried, they help me.

But I was more taken care of 10 years back when I stayed with my college friend. As you describe - I pretty much didn't go places alone.

I guess I'm mostly glad to be learning. Pushy shop keepers, cab drivers hassling me at the airport, and grabbiness in general no longer freaks me out. I've learned a decent "no I'm not having that" expression that seems to work. So the learning is good... even if it's frustrating.
