First Day

August 23, 2011

My first day started with orientation meetings. We went over a lot of information and went to lunch. The place we went to was really cool. The building on the inside had this beautiful massive mural of an ocean life scene with whales, turtles, fish, and much more covering this circular dome ceiling. It was awesome but couldn't get a full picture of it.

Artist: Wyland

There was also a statue with a waterfall that went next to the escalator. It was really pretty as well (sorry no picture). We ate upstairs and after had to head out to visit all 7 CDC’s on the two bases. It was very overwhelming and very quick trips to each. After we finished visiting the centers we got to go grocery shopping. It is very expensive to buy things here. Most items at 2X as much as back at home. After the shopping trip the rest of the day was ours. I invited the other girls to hang out and watch AGT with me. Trina was the only one who accepted. It was fun hanging out with her and I think we’re going to be close friends here. After the show was over it was time for bed.
