So I’m off to Thailand with my friend Willy, my sister, my mom and her friends for Thanksgiving weekend. Talk about celebrating the holidays with tradition. It’s funny because I was just wearing my UC Davis Turkey Trot t-shirt today and thought, “Wow. I would’ve never imagined that one year later I’d be studying abroad in Taiwan and on my way to Thailand for Thanksgiving.” Life is full of surprises! I’m really excited about riding an elephant since I hear a lot of tourists do that in Thailand. I am also especially looking forward to…yes, you guessed it! THE FOOD! Thai food is the best and I wouldn’t be surprised if I gain another couple pounds over the next few days.
I also realized that once I come back from Thailand, there’ll only be 2 more weeks until the semester is over. This semester flew by so fast! It makes me sad to know that so many people from my program are leaving soon. I’m currently trying to find an internship in Taiwan and if I do, I’ll be staying here until the beginning of March…which would be perfect! Since I’ll be spending next semester at Fudan University in Shanghai, it would be great to stay in Taiwan until that program starts. Alright, so I have to get packing…I’ll let you all know how Thailand is! I hear its ninety something degrees there. Yikes!
