Labor Day weekend

So we don't actually celebrate Labor Day here, but it was a weekend full of parties and get togethers regardless.  My class starts in about an hour, but I figured I would give a short update on this weekend before the longer post with pictures and such.

Rundown of the weekend:

• Museum of Islamic Art, designed by renowned architect I.M. Pei
• Fabulous Middle Eastern restaurant with enormous buffet and shisha
• Yahalla, a welcome back party for all students at HBK university
• Four hours of orientation for study abroad students, where we learned about 20 different ways we could get thrown in jail for at least three years here
• Booked flight for the Holy Land, with more possible flights to Turkey, Thailand, and Nepal to come!
• Church!!!
• The possibility that I might be able to live on campus with the rest of the students!
