22 days left !

Waiting, Waiting, and waiting

相信當一個交換生,
必要的是學習等耐。

等等等等 是出發前為交流最常做的事!
十個月前等家人的應允,
半年前等AFS的來信,
這幾個月來
等host family的詳情,
等departure的詳情,
等出發的一天。

幸好 用耐性換來的十個月並沒白費,
尚餘30多天, 就是啟程出發的大日子!

藉這裡分享被問得家人朋友繁厭的問題:
對方的回應大多都會如此:
為什麼要"失驚無神"暫停一年學業去當一年交換生?
什麼?
阿根廷?
又熱又黑呀!

首先,膚色不見得可以用作區分好壞的標則。
況且拉丁美洲的人,不是黑色的!= ='
而選擇作交流的原因,實在要以巧合形容
首先是1位senior的校內分享會,
當時被他在New zealand host family的花園吸引了
那個"花園"有足球場般巨型。
然後在猶豫報名的時候,
發現一位同班同學亦在今年透過AFS去丹麥。
最後,家人反對的時候,
幸好有姊姊的大力支持!

自獲得家人的同意後,我就決意了要選擇阿根廷,
原因是人生很短,年輕的時間更短!
可以"遠走高飛"一年,
就勇敢地選擇了一個遠在地球另一面的南美國家。
然而,面對家人朋友的驚訝,早已見怪不怪,
交流的確對一個普通中學生頗為陌生,
況且我將會去的是一個香港極不熟悉的國家,

無論如何, 可以說的只有:

GO,GO,GO!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

6 weeks !

The day is coming,
and the dream to Argentina is becoming true.

Argentina was far as something unreal in dreams.
It's weird to me;
I don't really believe that I'm going to start adventure, a totally different life in a country where on another side of this planet.
It's really hard! To leave a place where I grew up, where my friends be.

Whatever! I'll see and get much in Argentina, looking forward to this amazing country.

Lastly, I shall give some encouragement to someone watching this and do want to apply as an AFS students.

-It doesn't matter, your mum/dad disagree with your "exchange plan" firstly.
I'm quite sure that they will be change by your efforts on your own plan.

Example of myself,
I fight for this by myself!
From researching on Oct 2009,
till now I did all things myself.

So, try it and try it, if you really want to be one of us!
