We have been in Hershey for a week. Our life now slowly falls into a routine. We have get over our jet lag. It wasn’t that bad with the time difference but it’s very tiring. For the past one week, we have been going to bed around 9pm and woke up at 5am. Today, we manage to sleep till 7.30am which is good for us.
After that, I will get ready for work and Mee Siing will gets up to prepare breakfast and to do some house chores. I have to walk for about 20 minutes to work which is quite leisurely. I will passed through a shopping area and a large condominium community. Walk back home will be a bit hot for now as it is summer and the sun is very bright. I hope I can get a car when autumn comes.
Mee Siing will also work on her thesis. However, being home alone and in a new place, it is quite boring and lonely for her. She still can’t go anywhere or visit anyone. Hopefully, when we go to church this Sunday, we will be able to make more friends and she will have more people who she can mix with.
We try to sign up for a phone too but since I am still new here, I will have to pay a deposit of USD500. This is not worth it since I won’t be using so much. Everything here has to be ‘credit-checked’ before you can subscribed to something. This actually makes the life here harder to settle into fast. You want a cellphone, TV, electric, gas, etc…anything that need subscription, you will be credit checked. If there is no record or history of you, you will need to make a deposit for a year. Imagine how much money is there…
Next thing is that you will need to get a driving license too. Most places you go to, they will ask for your driving license. That’s their way of looking at our Malaysian ‘IC’. You don’t let people know your social security number here and you don’t carry them out too!
Nevertheless, we still need to find our footing here. A lot of things need to get used too. There are four seasons here and the weather changes very fast. It is too dry for our liking.
