Hong Kong... Here I am!!!

Today was a busy day like usual. First class started at 10.30 but I got there a bit late because I got lost in the hallways. As dumb as I sound, it was impossible not to get lost. Right then I thought to myself, "I still can't believe that THIS is happening"

HONG KONG RED TAXI

By THIS I do not just mean getting lost. I mean living here and studying at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ( HKUST ) or better known as fodai or UST by the locals. (UST = University of Stress and Tension) Today is my 16th day in Hong Kong and my 13th day staying in Undergraduate Hall III of HKUST. They say that it's not the best hall on campus, but I think I've grown quite fond of this hall. Everyone here is so friendly all the time that I find it funny and also there are 8 other international (full-time) students living here in this hall that I know of who are in the same boat as I am. And who knows how many other exchange students (one-semester.)  The international students and I became friends quite easily probably because we know how it feels like being "The Foreigners"

So much more to say but so little energy left in me before I fall asleep from exhaustion. Let me leave some random photos just for the heck of it.
