A note to anyone who is coming in the winter: BRING AN UMBRELLA AND WATERPROOF SHOES! It is cold and wet here. COLD AND WET! It is so wonderful here, but you will freeze. Or you will spend a ton of money on rain shoes. We luckily got here during the winter sales, but even then my roommate spent 50 euros on a pair of shoes. So bring your own!
Oh, and I made the mistake of using some body wash on my face in the hotel. Let's just say that was NOT a good idea! My face got so itchy! Thank goodness it is not noticeable when I am out during the day, but it started getting dry and scaly. So DON'T do it. Stick to what you have, or you will be doing what I did tonight after using my moisturizer.. which burned like hot lava fire by the way. I frantically ran to my window to try to stick my face out of it so I could cool it, but these things are like a trap! I don't know.. maybe they thought I would want to kill myself or something, but they don't open! Oh my gosh! I ran to the door to get into the hallway (which is also freezing) but I realize I didn't have my key to open the door (the doors open by key inside and out).. so I ran to several other windows including the kitchen while my roommate looked at me like I was a crazy woman and opened the door for me. Finally I got into the hallway and had to put my face against the COLD cement walls. Yes. This felt like heaven. HEAVEN. She almost wanted to leave me out there to have a moment with the wall.. So, moral of the story: DON'T use soap unless you know that it is good for you.. or at least not on your precious face.
