Here they are! Vi and Anh arrived in Columbia, MO on August 11 after attending community college in California. Originally from Vietnam, they are settling nicely into life in a Midwest college town. No ocean or mountains around here, but they'll adjust. Hope they like snow. We had a ton of it last winter and the early weather forecast indicates we could again have more snow than usual this winter.
The girls have settled into the room they asked to share, have become familiar with our local Wal Mart, met with some students from the Vietnamese Student Association, experienced Columbia's favorite cinema: The Ragtag Cinema, and have located a few yummy eateries near campus/downtown Columbia.
Last night they joined thousands of other new MU students and participated in the traditional "Tiger Walk;" pictures of that will be posted soon. It was a fun evening with ice cream and music from Marching Mizzou.
Today we all wake up to the first day of classes. An exciting day!!!
