So I kneeled at the bottom to the escalator stairs looking up and waiting for Sabrina. There she was. She was extremely pale and her red hair looked dusted with white. I knew it was her though.

Mina knew right away who it was. I wonder what was going through her mind when she saw her. I wonder what was going through Sabrina's mind when she saw Mina and I kissing each other at random times on the cheek and arms around each other. I wonder what her parents thought.

So now...after the excitement I have carried with me for the whole day, I returned home. I am so emotionally exhausted. When I saw her I was excited, but it wasn't the complete euphoria I was expecting. My heart feels frozen like I don't want to smile. Ever again.

Now I understand the culture shock theory. You may hate it the first few months, but when you get there, you want to resume your day to day life there forever. While she looked happy to get off the plane, she looked unhappy at where she had landed.

She looked at me when she had finished hugging everyone and said: "Who is this absolutely gourgous girl?" I smiled and said: "I don't know really."

And that's the truth.
