Student :slash: Host Mom

Yes, we are in Manila.

Crazy being home with the cast. It seems like half of me is in the real world and half of me is in a dreamlike state.

I stay in my apartment in the middle of the Central Business District, and currently hosting Jules from Uganda. Other uppies have a ton of househelp at home and me and Jules are highly independent women (that's putting it nicely.. this means we wake up early in the morning to prepare our breakfast and come home exhausted to still frozen dinners)

It's taking the phrase "step out of your comfort zone" to the next level.

With full days, heavy traffic, grocery shopping, media worries (!!!), bad internet connection -- I hope I get to update my blog soon.

love, hanna
