After traveling over 50 hours, no one speaking English at an overnight layover in Seoul, South Korea, and eating authentic Asian food for the first time, I would say my journey has begun.
It has been a long trip to finally get to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but I made it! I arrived last night and got to my house around 8:00pm. I unpacked a little and then went for supper. I was able to get in bed for the first time since Tuesday night and get 11 hours of sleep!!
During my layover in S. Korea my friend Sarah & I went exploring throughout Seoul. The city NEVER sleeps! We arrived in downtown around 4:00pm and finally sat down at a 24/7 coffee shop at 5:00am the next morning. There were shopping malls 8 stories high, food places every other store, and marketplaces galore. It was absolutely mind-blowing that on a Thursday night everything was open until 4:30am. That’s the way it always is…thousands of people bustling around the city until the wee ours of the morning. It was definitely an experience & it worked out that we didn’t have to get a hotel or hostel to stay in, just exploring all throughout the night.
I am living with 8 other girls in a house. The girls living here are around my age (22-27) and from Australia, East Malaysia, USA & the Middle East. In the program there are 7 total interns and about 20 students. I am so stoked to finally meet all the team!! The team is from 9 different nations…talk about diversity! I can’t wait to meet all of them and learn about their culture and ultimately study in the program together.
Just a quick update to let everyone know I arrived safely. I will post regularly. Be blessed!!
