I can't believe that the 1 month-long journey across Vietnam has been gone, just like a beautiful dream. It's a bit funky to get home without other 19 GIEUers, without sharing rooms, food and drinks, without chatting till midnight, or hearing creepy complaints about geckoes, ants and cockroaches. There was no distance between Vietnamese and American students although we are half of a globe away, on the opposite sides of the world. GIEU gave me much more than I could ever expect: cultural and social exchange between Vietnam and the U.S, living experiences, valuable lessons and noticeably and expensively, friendship.
All we had been through, laughs and tears, happiness and sorrow, difficulties and resilience, are priceless. GIEU completed my student life meaningfully and unforgettably. As I look back on my experience, I am filled with joy and appreciation (and a bit of sadness) for the countless priceless memories we had made together.
Hey, don't forget our pinky promise that we MUST meet up again, someday.
Love you all,
Thu Lavender ;)
Let's see below how lovely your Vietnamese speaking was and how fun our time together was :)
