We landed today in Malaysia and had a pretty layed back day, until the evening. We were invited to celebrate the 4th of July with the queen of Malaysia, the American ambassador in Malaysia and several delagates at a reception through the US Embassy. It was an eye-opening evening that allowed me to make international connections and provided me an opportunity to ask questions to professionals in a career thay I'm interested in. I was able to speak amongst several delagates who gave me advice on traveling, careers and internships in the State Department and tips on what to see and do on the trip. They were so friendly and willing to speak to us. It was all round an absolute privallege to attend this event. It was well worth persevering through jetlag abd the desire to fall asleep.
There is no better way to kick off this trip than what we did tonight!
