I had known America is a large country. But, I could never imagine myself walking such a large campus every day. It's not just large, it's HUGE !! I could not walk alone at first because it's so huge! I am sure it would take more than two hours if I walk from one side to the another. Now I got the sense of direction to walk alone but I still need a map.
I don't have any culture shock so far, even though it is the first time for me to come to U.S. This place is not so different from Australia. But I sometimes come across the stuff like vending machines, paper towl holder, or classic elevator that I don't know how to use... ( Hey, the elevater we used at the emergency house was so old that it often stays another floor & never come down because somebody leave the doors open.) Well, I don't have any culture shock nor home sick, nor do I have so much trouble even about English (so far.) I just feel that I have come so far away from home. It was so long way to come here. Actually, I had to take three trip on airplanes & that makes me really tired. I had to set my watch in Origon first,& the next in Atlanta. That makes me more tired. Why they have such a big time difference just in one country, I wonder. They really are speaking English. They really are driving on right side here.... I am a foreigner & minority here. I fell how difficult it is to take part in the different communities. Somehow, they do not care about others at all & that makes me comfortable in a way. I can go out without making me up. I can eat apples walking on the streets, etc...
How is Yai? Are you guys talking on the phone?
It is very cold here. It's so cold that I can't sleep! Mom told me that it is still hot there. But here, why the leaves are turning red in August ? What if it snows? I heard we have snow here in October. Humm.... don't make me think about that !!!
Now I found my place in a dorm. I made new friends here. I am doing pretty well. So much for today. Please write me back.
