Malaysia

This blog post has been a long time coming! I’ve been back in the states for about a month now, but I’ve avoided writing this post because I knew that it would be difficult to try to wrap up my time in Malaysia with words. Let me just say this: I am immensely grateful.

My time in Malaysia was personally edifying, it clarified my direction post-graduation, and offered me so many experiences, so many learning opportunities, and friends. The almost 5 months slipped by much faster than I thought they could, and by the end Kuala Lumpur felt like another home.

 I am confident that my memory of my GLT will always be marked with gratitude for the people that welcomed me, the opportunities that were given to me, and for feeling like I was were I needed to be.

Here are a few pictures of some things I did in my last few weeks and some friends I made.

 
Kailea and I in Genting Highlands with my host mom. Genting Highlands is a hill station outside of KL that has casinos.

Lunch in Genting.
