We had faux wood ones for us, and my parents had really cool mirrored ones. And they all locked - we don't have closets that lock around here.

Armoires, here we come...<br /><br />The negociation between the fantasy and the reality of living abroad is something I confront on a daily basis.

I was of the "absolutely not" mindset and focused on everything we had going on at home. <br /><br />Looking back, I know we missed an opportunity there. But, I'm ok with it. Living with grandparents is not the way I want to live abroad.

Prior to going, I dreamed of living there. I only spent a summer there because I was afraid of a longer commitment.
