[45 Days in Shanghai] Episode 1- The Realization.

Before, during the interview for the exchange program, I told them the reason I wanna go exchange abroad is because I want to see the world differently. I want to widen up my paradigm. It sounded like total bullshit when I say it during the interview, but honestly that’s what I want. That’s my main purpose.

And you know what? I got it. I see the world differently now. I learnt a lot too.After 45 days. 45 days of an incredibly surprising journey.And it began with the flight. Flight to Shanghai.

Why does it begin with the flight? Because the realization of living in a foreign country for 45 days only hit me during the flight. To be honest, I didn’t feel anything when I left my house and when I arrived at the airport. I was too busy worrying about my luggage whether its excessive or not and too busy occupying my mind with what souvenir I should take for people there. During my flight to Kuala Lumpur from Kuching, I didn’t really feel the difference. It’s just another exhausting flight that I hated a lot. Same like always.
