Love, Food, Travel and the Ability to engage in Community Service

Hi,

Well I have been lagging on the blog posts because I have been enjoying my time here! Today I had a day for me, myself and I. I tend to have a lot of those. I love to be inspired and I really enjoy life and all it has to offer! Some of you that are very close and dear to me know that winter term was horrible for me, honestly I can say one of the worst times of my life, if not the worst!.The good thing thought is that I learned a lot about myself, which is very good and in the long run no permanent damage happened just simple life learning :)

I am so so fortunate and want to thank all my friends and family and remind you that I love you, with out you I would not be where I am today and doing the things I dream to do! I am currently enjoying India, and I am soo so happy I came! I love love love doing community service and working as a Public Health student, and I am doing exactly that here as well as learning about myself along the way! (as I always do anytime I travel anywhere new).

I have always known what I wanted, and still do, but today I was able to be inspired to really pin down the most important things I need in my life to ultimately be happy (which should be everyone's ultimate goal in life ) To always be happy I need LOVE, FOOD, TRAVEL & THE ABILITY TO ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY SERVICE. I had the best of all those things today! that is all I have for today! I love you all! Next weekend Taj Mahal!!!

Best Regards,

Yesi

Corazón contento en Bali

" Pictures are a one way ticket to a memory..." - unknown Well I haven't blogged in some days now ( I don't plan on blogging every single day... some of you asked ) A lot has happened and my heart has been racing with excitement every single day. I am In love with the Islands of Indonesia, and I hope that you all can experience it some day. It's true that pictures are worth a thousand words, so here are some pictures and small captions. It's Tuesday on my side of the world, and my week in Indonesia is almost over. Every single time I go to a beach and go horseback riding I ask if I can take the horses into the water, thus far different state and country rules of places I have been to don't allow it. In the Gilli Islands horseback riding in the ocean is possible. I have always wanted to ride in the ocean! My horse was swimming, I was swimming and the wind that hit my face whispered words of freedom. Goal number #35 - check! ...

¡Ya llegué!

This is where I am staying, Karana Residence. I finally made it to Bali, Indonesia ! Goodness. So many emociones. I left Oregon on Tuesday... and arrived today Thursday at 2:40pm Bali time. Woah. My first flight from Portland was to Canada ( 1.5 hour flight), then Canada to Singapore (13 hour flight), then Singapore to Manila (3.5 hours ) and finally Manila to Bali ( 3 hours) + about 9 hours at airport transfers... phew!!! As soon as I arrived at the Bali airport I took out some rupiahs from the ATM and headed out to find a taxi. My "taxi" ended up being some random guy who wasn't a taxi and got lost trying to find Karana... sigh. Wasted 1 whole hour, I mapped it out beforehand and it was supposed to be a 6 minute drive from airport (eye roll) The roads in Bali are like a labyrinth and everyone is on scooters. Once I got settled I threw my stuff in my room and headed to the beach. I got to see the sunset and after all those flights and lost ...

First Stop - Korea

I made it to Korea!!! it was a very longgggggggggg plane ride (11hrs) and the last hour I started to feel sick, but I was able to take care of myself and now I am feeling my healthy self again! The plane ride was an experience in itself. First off it was the biggest plane I've ever flown in with 8 seats of width!!! and 12 flight attendants (yes, I counted). I thought it was very nice that all the passengers got their own pair of slippers ^_^. Another thing I had never seen was that we all got hot wet towels handed to us from baskets with tongs which people seemed to use to either clean their hands or wipe their face, I choose to clean my hands. Lastly I got to enjoy some "Bibimbap" which is a famous Korean cuisine composed of steamed rice, minced beef and other veggies! xoxo, Yesi P.S Kudos to Asiana Airlines they collected money for UNICEF!!!!! what a great way to give back, and what a great idea to collect loose currency, a money little adds up!!!
