“Have you noticed the changing of the seasons? How the weather is going from hot to… slightly less hot?” These were the words that Jum, our program director, imparted to us during this past week’s follow-up orientation. While at first we just laughed, I have realized that on some days, the heat is less oppressive and that daily downpours are becoming more of an every-other-day or every-few-days occurrence. Even though I have adjusted quickly to the tropical climate here, I can’t say I’ll miss getting drenched at least once a week by a surprise rainstorm on my way home from class.

Three weeks ago, I stepped off of Korean Air flight #651 and stepped on to Thai soil (or at least the shiny floor tiles of the Bangkok International Airport). After approximately 25 hours of waiting in security lines, sprinting from one terminal to another, and sitting on three different planes, I had arrived in the country where I will be spending the next five months.In a haze of excitement, anticipation, and jet lag, I made my way through customs and successfully met up with Steve and Wanida, my gracious hosts for my first few days in Bangkok.
