U.S Fulbrighter Welcome Dinner

Last Wednesday night Nicolas Papp, the Cultural Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy in KL, hosted a dinner to welcome all of this years Fulbrighters to Malaysia. There are currently 5 Fulbrighters located in KL, three professors and two students, and there are three or four others spread across other locations in Malaysia. I have been here the longest, almost four months, whereas others have just arrived. It was nice to get to know the other Fulbrighters and learn more about the experiences here so far.

Here is a of my fellow Fulbrighters in Malaysia. It is a group with very diverse interests.
