Hari Terakhir

"Well this is it. Today is my last day in Bandung, and one week from today I will be on my way back to the US. As I write this, I am sitting in the living room with my host mom. I'm waiting for my driver and two other exchange students, and I leave in less than two hours.

I know I haven't posted in over a month, but this past month has been a crazy one. For one, it is currently Ramadan, so I've tried my hand at fasting.

I just wanted to finally post the last thing I wrote from Indonesia! This certainly won't be my last post though. I intend on continuing this blog to write about whatever adventures come my way! First stop: Reverse Culture Shock.

Until next time,
