I’m sitting in my apartment writing to you, but I should be packing. :-) This evening I went for a swim on my rooftop pool – the sky was clear with a few stars twinkling in the distance. The city is silent from my apartment; only flashy lights can be seen among the skyline. The air is still hot; and the water in my pool is quite warm. :-) I float on my back and watch a plane fly high above. I will soon be on one saying goodbye to Thailand. Tomorrow, actually.
These last two weeks in Bangkok have gone by fast. The office work is tedious and often difficult to sit throughout the day. But the evenings have been filled with friends and lots of good times. I am sad to be leaving, but happy for what’s to come next. It feels good to know I worked hard, made some great friends, and enjoyed a bit of this beautiful world so far from my home. I’m very thankful for my experiences here. Interviewing refugees has been very rewarding and quite interesting at times. My favorite part is knowing that these people are at the start of a great adventure! And amidst all the struggle and the fear that will accompany them, there will be great opportunities and wonderful surprises awaiting them! I hope the same goes for me as well. :-)
Goodbye Bangkok!
