Man, it has been 2 weeks since I have arrived in the USA for my work and travel program. Everything has been great so far! I am working as a food service crew at the YMCA of the Rockies, Estes Park, Colorado. This place is 8000 feet above sea level so it gets really dry and cold up here. I am really loving the people I work with here, they are very friendly and nice. Always joking around and inviting us for events and gatherings. I have also met some Malaysians that are on the same program. There are quite a number of us so it was really comforting to have friends to talk to when I feel homesick.
I had my first Thanksgiving Dinner in the USA. Kara invited us over for a Friendsgiving Potluck and we had turkey that was donated by a kind soul. I really enjoyed the fellowship. I attend the Rocky Mountain Church in downtown and I love it!. I praise God that he surrounds me with spiritual mentors and that we can have discussions and sharing about God's love.
It was difficult adjusting to the weather and altitude here at first. I get breathless real easily and my skin was cracking real badly, especially my hands till it was bleeding at one point. My nose also bleed due to the dryness. But after two weeks here it got better, but still lotion and water are my best friends up here. While working here, it really got me thinking about my next step in life... and honestly I don't know... but well, I learn from the people here that I should take it one step at a time, and don't be afraid to explore. I'll just let pictures do the talking haha! Ciao :)
Wait for me!!!!!
