On my way

When I went to China a few years ago, I had a countdown for more than 100 days before I left. I was almost unbearably excited. Part of that was because I didn't like my life in Allendale very much, and I wanted to get away. But because I anticipated it so much, I went to China with a lot of expectations, most of which were not justified. I had no idea what I was getting into, but I didn't seem to understand that.

This time, I know that I haven't the slightest clue what my life is going to be like, and that is the most exciting thing of all for me. I can't wait to find out!

I think I'm going to bring my laptop with me after all, so it will be much easier to communicate with all of you. I plan to regularly update this blog with pictures and details about my life in Thailand, so stop by often! And please write comments and send emails and pictures!

Love,
Alex

P.S. Thanks, Hostess, for letting me destroy your room for a few days, and... Go blue!
