This is going to be a completely new experience for me. I am very excited about discovering the life and culture of this country, but also somewhat nervous about what I am going to find in a world that is practically alien to me.
Last summer I spent a month living in China and studying the economy. Upon my arrival there, I was completely unprepared for how different the culture was from what I knew in the Western world. This summer I am taking this exploration a step further- to the Muslim world, and the strict reality of Muslim law.
In less then 24 hours I will leave on a flight flight to singapore, and then take a connecting flight to Male, the capital city, where my work and adventure will begin.
