Bună! 👋
My name is Pyae Sone Hein, and I am currently studying at Romanian-American University 🇷🇴.
This is an important chapter of my study journey, and I feel truly grateful to be here. Studying abroad has always been one of my dreams, and now I’m living it step by step.
Right now, I am also learning the Romanian language. It’s challenging sometimes 😅, but I enjoy the process because every new word I learn helps me connect more with the culture and people around me.
I have to admit, adjusting to a new culture has been a little difficult at times because I come from Southeast Asia, and everything here feels so different. But facing these challenges is helping me grow — academically, personally, and emotionally 💪.
University life here is amazing. Every day I learn something new — not only from my classes but also from my friends and international community. I have made friends from Iran, Japan, Turkey, Greece, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Romania, and Serbia 🌍✨. Sharing different cultures, ideas, and perspectives makes this journey even more special.
Funny moments I want to share 😄
Honestly, I don’t like saying “How are you?” every single time I meet people 😅. It gets tiring, and sometimes I just want to wave or say something silly instead!
I absolutely love eating rice 🍚❤️. Rice is my life here! No matter what meal it is, I always try to include it. I never thought I could get so obsessed, but here I am, happily eating rice every day.
Sometimes, I try to pronounce Romanian words and it comes out completely wrong 🤣. My friends laugh, I laugh, and then we all end up teaching each other funny phrases.
Another fun thing — I still get surprised by the cold Romanian winters 🥶! I come from warm Southeast Asia, so stepping outside feels like a challenge every morning. Layering clothes has become a sport for me!
And of course, the classic student struggle — forgetting where I put my books or notes in the library 😆. Every time I find them, it feels like a small victory.
Living and studying in Romania is helping me grow — academically, personally, and professionally. I’m becoming more independent, confident, and open-minded.
I’m truly thankful for this opportunity and excited to see where this study journey will take me next 🚀🎓.
Mulțumesc! 🙏❤️
