I recieved a letter today. Possibly the most life changing letter you could ever imagine. It was a letter accepting me to go the Malaysia (or Indonesia or Guyana if that project falls through) for a whole year to teach either English or outdoor activities. I do not think I have ever been so excited and happy in my life. So at the end of next summer, off I go to learn a new language, be completely immersed in a new culture, take a completely different role in life (be the teacher not the pupil!), be the furthest away from home and be away from home for the longest amount of time.
So this is it. And I realy cannot wait!
I have been to a few foreign countries (Portugal & Tenerife I dont remember, but I went to France, Belgium and Italy relatively recently) but never out of Europe so this will be very exciting!
I am hoping that I will be posted in some rural area, as I am a complete country bumpkin and wouldnt last a week in a big city!
Thanks so much
And I am a BIG FOODIE, so I was out eating my way through the country again once I was all right, haha.
So yea, keep an eye on any strange symptoms. Try to do your homework on exotic diseases endemic in the area. Malaria, filariasis, whatever. I don't know how the crime rate is where you're gonna live, but yea, just be safe and everything!
Same, I love eating
