Arriving

With about 35 hours of transit, we arrived in Laos. It was a long couple of days and it was good to finally get here. We lost all our luggage sadly which will hopefully be here on Tuesday. The city of Vientiane is very much like I think Kenya, which is nice and something that I can relate to. I had quite a bit of culture shock and so it was hard to adjust the first night. We slept right when we got to Evonne and Scott's house ( our country reps.) and had woken up at 5 from jet lag. Then after we slept for many more hours til about 1. So it is going to be hard to get over the jet lag. We went to a very western restaurant which I had a bagel and some fruit. I thought that I wouldn't find a bagel here so I was excited to have one! Then we drove around Vientiane and went to the local mall where we got some clothes for a couple of days. It was nice to see the city and get a feel for what we will be experiencing. I  am now excited to see what it will be like at the school and with our host families.
