As we are nearing the end of the orientation month in Pamplona, my friends and I went to our favorite spot in the city, Cafe Iruña, one last time. We had an interesting experience. I won’t go into detail, but we were taken advantage of and treated very poorly because we are American. At first, we all were enraged. After letting it simmer for a bit, I realized that this was bound to happen at some point throughout the year. As much fun as my year abroad will be, moments such as these will happen. Next time I will be more prepared and more forgiving.
