Indonesia Time: May 22, 2007 1030am
Canada Time: May 21, 2007 830pm
We had a great day yesterday! We all had the morning to spend time together and relax, however the instructors were straight to work at the University! Some of us ventured out to the Internet cafe to catch up on our emailing and blogging! It is incredible to be on the other side of the world and still be able to remain in contact with friends family and blog readers!
In the early afternoon we all went to Widya Mandela University to meet the students from the Psychology and English Departments who will be our translators at our practicum placements. We were all slightly apprehensive about meeting new people and about the potential language barrier. Once we were there however, we had a great time. The Indonesian students were kind and curious about us as were we of them! There is great potential for friendship and one of the Indonesian students has already visited us at Kassanda House. What a diverse culture there is here especially when it comes to religion.
We are still adjusting to the heat, the food and the different culture, but we are managing just fine!
Over the next two days we will all be visiting our placements and will post about our experiences there as soon as possible.
* On a side note: For those who are interested in posting on our blog please feel free. We would appreciate however if you are wanting to contact a student individually to send them an email! Much appreciated.
