This blog was set up last term, (my first term for my MA), as a part of my Media and Technology course. I have, however, chosen not to use it during the time I set it up. For whatever reason, I think now would be a good time to begin. This will be an easier way for you all to see whats going on during some of my travels (too bad I haven't done this before!!) as well as provide me some motivation to maybe try to journal better :)
So here I am. In an internet cafe (if you could call it that!) in My Tho, Vietnam...the gateway to the jungle..I mean Mekong Delta! :) It is 34*celcius (HOT) and unbelievably humid!! Im in long sleeves, trousers (for you Brits!), and closed toes shoes. And not by choice! I am currently on my lunch break from teaching little Vietnamese children how to speak english and boy did I need the break!!! I never realized how hard it could be! I'll give further details later on about teaching BUT I have already been many places so since this is kinda a first post (minus the original for my class) I think I should quickly breif others on where I've been so far!
London Study Abroad 06!!! -France, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Holland, Egypt...and maybe some others?!
So far all places have been amazing. Favourite place...hmm. I can't say! Each experience has been so unique! Some have been challenging and some relaxing, but overall I can say I've taken something away and learned something more about myself, which is exactly what traveling should be about! Maybe one day I'll go back and give little tidbit blogs about the previous places traveled when I return back home to London (yes, my home in London!!), but for now, I am indeed in rural Vietnam and loving every minute of it! My next post will be practically a full email sent to someone earlier! (their suggestion! :) ) But basically it will get you up to date as to what has gone on so far in my Asian experience!!
