Bangkok

So it's my first night in Bangkok... so far so good. I have had two Thai meals and I have actually liked what i have eaten. I am not exactly sure what it was that I ate but I liked it. That's a really good sign for the upcoming months.
I have a roommate this week while we are going through orientation. She's Irish and seems pretty nice, and likes to drink so we get along well. Till tomorrow....

Hong Kong

I just landed in Hong Kong, safe and sound. The flight was really long (14 hrs.) but not too bad. I met Patrick at the airport here, he is an American from California that is in this program as well. It is nice to have another American around for the last leg of the journey.
I can't see much from the airport but from the plane I could see the city and it is massive. I wish I had some time to spend here. Another trip maybe. Off to Bangkok!!

T- 1 week

I have exactly one week left in Chicago before I head off to Thailand. There is so much to do and so many people to see before I leave. It's a little overwhelming. I have actually had time this week to think about what I am doing and how much life is changing and it's equally as scary as it is exciting. I'll keep you posted!!!
