Playlist To My Year

"Funny how a melody sounds like a memory"

Well Officially I have been here for a whole seven months, and I decided it was a good time to share the songs that remind me of my exchange year and all the memories I have made here. 

Music is one of the few things that a person can always carry with them. Good music is known to draw out emotions, recreate memories, make you forget or even get you dancing. As an exchange student I strongly value the power of music. I have uploaded my playlist to 8Tracks to share it with everyone http://8tracks.com/jenna-bocking-5/adventure-is-out-there . There are twenty-one songs on my playlist each carrying a special memory for me. Some I listen to forget. Some of them I listen to have a dance party in my room. Others are songs with lyrics that make me cry, and smile. A few of these where belted out by 28 exchange students on a bus as we raced down the winding roads of Thailand and of course I even included my favourite Thai songs. So take a listen if you wish too, and if not you are missing out on the Thai hit Where Is The Toilet. Thats a real bummer for you...
