New place, new people, new adjustments
It’s always overwhelming when you get to meet new people in a new place and there are always hang-ups no matter what.
I lived with the other missionary teachers from the language school and good thing, I get to have a roommate who is super cool, Sonya from the beautiful state of Montana. Our apartment was five-story with two kitchen, two bathrooms and six bedrooms. One was used as a classroom on the first floor for British and second floor for Americans. I lived on the third floor and our kitchen was on the fifth floor. I didn’t have my own bed but I got a mattress laid on the floor like the Japanese do. It was all right as long as I have a soft bed on my back.
Everything was totally new. I practically knew no one and no one knew me before. It’s a bit overwhelming indeed. I felt like an outcast a little bit.
The next day I was going to meet my new students.
