Well, this week has seen me getting wet nearly every single
day, and then I got sick. It has very
literally rained everyday for long periods of time, and exactly at the moment I
have to be out on my bike. Anyway, Miri
had its own very miniature version of Hurricane Sandy. Tuesday of last week was an incredibly stormy
day. There was ridiculousness strong
winds and buckets of water. My companion
and I got stranded in a Mall for a couple of hours. After waiting, we stepped out and half of all
the trees were uprooted and buildings were collapsed. The weak architecture did not hold up for a
lot of people living in wooden shack houses.
It created a lot of service project opportunities though, which was great. Last week we helped to clear massive trees
that had fallen down at a retirement home.
It was really a great experience, especially with a crowd of old people
cheering you on.
All in all things are quite good, I am used to being in a
state of "perma-wet" Its still
a little crazy to think that I only have 6 months left! It is a time warp here, everything in the
real world seems to be moving so fast!
So many of my friends are getting married, crazy. Anyway, have a great day!
