Bird Flu or Bust!

Crazy adventures in Southeast Asia

Goodbye, Southeast Asia :-(

So Tori is officially muy muy sad. I can't believe that my amazing SEA summer is already over...I mean, as much as I wanna come home and see all of you all, I just don't want to leave this incredible part of the world!

Truthfully, I just want to go back to Malang, but you knew that already.

So the past couple of days in Singapore have been good - we've done Chinatown, Little India (ate some rockin roti prata and got fun henna), Arab Street (good place for souvenirs, for future reference), and all kinds of fun Singaporean things in between. When I get back to the states I'm really going to miss the night and weekend markets there are all over the place in SEA. Sad face!

Stephanie, the reason the LE Indonesia program even exists, happened to be back in Singapore, so she e-mailed me and we met up at City Hall today. It was really great to see her again! She started LE Philippines this summer, and we started making plans for an expanded SEA program (Bali, Sulawesi, Singapore, Vietnam, etc.) for LE. I'm really excited about it!

Okay so this will be my last post. The remaining four of us are going to catch a cab to the airport tomorrow morning at 4AM and then our numbers will slowly dwindle from there - Deepa leaves at 6h50, Kathy at 9h30, me at 11h05 and then Brittan at 12h30...even bigger sad face!

I just don't want this summer to end. After having expanded the LE Indonesia program and made plans to make it even bigger, and then traveling around the region I kind of feel like I belong here. Goodness gracious!

See you all Tuesday!! (My flight gets in at 8h30 Ohio time!)

- Tori =)
