Travel Day
Wow, what a crazy day!
This morning we left Messiah and drove to JFK airport in New York City
for a 16 hour flight to Hong Kong, then a 5 hour flight to Surabaya, Indonesia,
then another 2 hour bus ride to Malang.
This was my first international experience, so I was extremely excited
by the video machine on the plane, the airplane food, and the helpfulness of
all of the people on the plane and in both airports. The airport in Hong Kong looked very similar
to an American airport, as most signs were in English and similar stores such
as McDonalds and Starbucks were present.
As we got off the plane in Surabaya, the first thing that I noticed was
the humidity. We were definitely not in
Pennsylvania anymore! There were palm trees surrounding the airport,
and the humidity felt as if it was 1000 percent. This got better as we proceeded into the
mainland of the island, although the humidity is still much higher than in the
states. Today has been a great day, but
extremely tiring, so I will be excited to see more of Indonesia after I get
some sleep!
