Just got back to the states and I started noticing my own “american” accent after being around only one other American and lots of folks who spoke english with varying accents. It was weird b/c I actually became conscious of my accent and it sounded weird when I heard it on a video clip.

It was a cool trip overall but a bit tiring – it’s always nice to see familiar faces though such as Heidrun and many others. I’m already looking forward to next year’s show and want to pick up a little bit of some other languages to help the communications flow.
