Iowa 101

When you read my title, you might be thinking: what the heck is this? Well, not many people know this state that has taught me many values. I as an international student very much appreciate being in the midwest, the center of the United States, in a state called Iowa. 
I know that people in my country don't know about Iowa because most of my friends go to states like California, or New York or those famous states. But unlike others, apparently my family knows the secret that the States have: the land that can build one's personality - Iowa.

Iowa might not be famous, but it is a very important state for the states. And fun fact! Iowa is one of the four largest producer of corn, that's why its souvenirs and logos mostly are corns. But wait! Being agricultural doesn't mean there's nothing more to Iowa! People greeting  you with smile, farmer's market, high quality education, and family life environment also help Iowa become a sweet secret that not many people know, yet valuable! 

So in collaboration with my writing I've decided to wear my Iowa shirt and taking picture near the field at the back of my apartment:

Another fun facts, Ashton Kutcher, a famous goodlooking actor played in a lot of movies, is from Iowa. And one of my friend, Eva Andersen is also from Iowa. She might not be as popular now, but I'm sure she will be famous in the future, in a filming industry!

Cedar Falls, Iowa, Where my University : University of Northern Iowa is located!

So, if you have more questions about Iowa, don't hesitate to ask me! Especially those International students that are considering studying abroad, I will tell you my personal experience here! And if I don't know the answer, I can ask my friends who have lived in Iowa their whole life!

Love,
Catherine Au Jong

  15. Hahaha! I'm an Indonesian and many people from Indonesia go to California. I went to Texas, never been to Iowa, but from the pics the state does look like Texas!

    Really love your skirt. I'm thinking of make over my old jeans into skirts and I think I'll add some lace to my next project. Thanks for the inspiration.

  16. Oh my, sorry, just read the About section and realized that you're also an Indonesian. Well, about California, they say you can walk down the street, yell "MERDEKA!": and someone will answer. I don't think you expect the same result in Texas or Iowa. :)
