So I've been here a little over a week now, and I'm finally on my way to being completely settled in. Have got my hang of the infamous green mini buses (which don't stop until you shout "yow lock!") and have even become ever so slightly accustomed to the humidity. My hair is another story completely - whether it's the weather (ha) or the terribly weak shower, it just continues to look a hot mess. (Literally.) Other than the shower.... aaaand the fridge not working, I'm very content with my room and halls. They are in a very good location, a short walk from campus and I feel very lucky to have such lovely roommates.
I had my first class today which was really interesting. It was a module simply entitled "Shakespeare" which is taught by a really enthusiastic lecturer from the States.
The past few days I've experienced a lot of new things. This week I have been going out in massive groups of people from all over the world. Tonight, a group of maybe 40 or more went to see the Hong Kong lightshow which is when the buildings of Hong Kong Island all light up in different colours and is observed from the Avenue of Stars, across the water in Tsim Sha Tsui. Tonight I also tried Vietnamese Pho noodle soup which is a bit like Japanese Ramen. I have also sampled many different tea based drink and the infamous durian which is a fleshy, creamy fruit known for its unpleasant smell which has led it to be banned from certain public areas Southeast Asia. Let's just say it was not to my taste.
I haven't been taking any photos due to being busy and forgetful. I'll try to start taking some snaps over the next few days. I am planning to get some authentic dim sum tomorrow night, so maybe I'll start looking more like a tourist then.
S'laters haters, (umm what?)
