The Great Voyage Chapter 1Anyway, after my long awaited wait, I finally bid farewell to my family and friends on the 31st of March 2007. I have embarked on my journey to a foreign land to experience the life of a different country. I was surprised by the number of friends who turned up at the airport to send me off. The flight was 6 am in the morning and i had to be there by 3.30 am. Yet, my secondary friends, my dnd gang, 1st 3 months JC class, my University friends, and my ee jang team came to send me off. It was not an easy farewell, as I thought it might have been. Seeing my parents and sister cry, I felt I had to be strong and survive the next 18 months.
The flight to the USA was very painful. The seats were narrow and uncomfortable and the hours were very long. 16 hours of flying is not a fun thing to do. Anyway, the hotel is nice and all but the area that I am working in is not the most convenient place in the world. People here are very inefficient and rude at times. Now i really appreciate wat Singapore is really like. Things get done so much faster back home.
