Selamat Jalan!!! (Good Bye)
IT ALL COMES TO AN END!!! Today was presentation day followed by a farewell dinner! Let’s look at the itinerary before going into details
Itinerary:
- USF students Presentations & Discussions
- Lunch [Own Arrangement]
- Farewell dinner at Pan Mutiara Restaurant with everybody!
Today was quite interesting. The 12 public health students that stayed in Penang had to give our final presenations. We discussed what we learned about our public health topic and the impact on society more-or-less. All were interesting and everybody learned a lot. We had 5-10 minute time limit but some went way over and some was barely up there. I kept mines as short and simple as possible, especially since NOBODY either finds reproductive health interesting or simply to embarrassed to discuss it.
- Alyse: Food Security
- Amanda: Health Consequences of Rapid Urbanization
- Angie: Road Safety
- Anthony: Healthcare Systems
- Caitlin: Natural Products

We met a few of USF’s Disaster Management Team (University of South Florida Global Health) who just happen to be in Penange and came to our presentation. We went our separate ways after presentations to climb Penang Hill (some went some did not, Alyse and I ate some amazing seafood in Georgetown), then we partied at the going away dinner!!
