Of Columbus

Assalamu'alaikum.

Here we go. An update from Columbus, OH.

I think I should start with the people here. Seniors are nice and kind. And, the owners of the house(the parents and their kids) that I'm staying now, are SUPERBLY and INCREDIBLY nice and VERY helpful.
Alhamdulillah.

The weather is suitable for most of us(you know, those people who come here with me). Not too cold and not too hot.

It's already Fall here, so it gets windy all the time. You know what, the cold air here feels the same as the air coming off from an air-conditioner.Sejuk, tapi best.

The Raya/ Eid celebration here......is okay. My friends and I had some Raya dishes before going to the Ohio Union early in the morning.
Alhamdulillah.

Later that day, we went to The Orchard for Raya gathering. Had the chance to meet families and their kids, staying around Columbus area. Banyak sangat makanan sampai tak termakan.

But still, alhamdulillah. Dapat jugak makan sedapsedap on Hari Raya.

The place that I'm living at(that'd be Buckeye Village) is near to lots of supermarkets and halal stores, has free bus service to go to places around here(including the areas around OSU), and most importantly is very very safe to live in.



BV is heavily populated with families, so you'll get to see lots of kids playing around here. Especially, at the playgrounds.

And, there's also a Community Center which provides great services i.e. laundry, gym, TV room.

I still have a lot of things to settle here.  Sitting for placement test, buying prepaid cards for the phone, and setting up a bank account.

So there. Habis dah. No worries, I am very fine here.

No back pain yet. Makanan semua sedap dan halal. Don't worry lah Mak and Abah.

P/S: OSU post comin' up....insyaAllah. So stay tuned. ;D
