First impressions and hot pot

So that's how fast time goes by... I'm already in Hong Kong and it was quite a while ago when I last posted, so plenty of stuff has happened after the last time I wrote here, but nothing worth mentioning really. I will just jump into this present moment: I'M IN HONG KONG, BABY!!!


Random woman selling random food.

My buddy student Nancy

The straight flight from Helsinki lasted for 9 hours and 50 minutes and well, it was a very normal flight. Many movies to choose from, no drunken annoying people around, tolerable food, not enough space for my legs, nothing special really. I arrived yesterday afternoon and my local buddy student Nancy was at the airport to pick me up. She is super nice and sweet and helpful, I was very lucky to get her as my buddy, today she helped us to buy local SIM cards and I bought a tiny laptop with 2680 HKD.

We've got the first impressions now and all I can say is that I am in love with this city already. The vibe is great, I don't know how to explain it any better, but this city is just so colourful and full of life, people everywhere all the time, bright lights and I love the lost in translation feeling so far. The student residence we're staying in, Hung Hom Halls, is alright. As I've told before, I'm sharing a room with my Austrian classmate Kathi, and the room is tiny, on the 6th floor, and we share the bathroom with 2 more girls. There's more than 20 floors and the corridors are narrow and only a few elevators to use, so yeah, it sure is interesting to live in here, a real Asia experience. I have to take some pictures of the room and post them here, it's worth seeing ;)

My roomie for 4 months: Kathi!

An all-you-can-eat hot pot for 5 euros. Meine liebe Hong Kong :P~~~

I just wanted to let everyone know I'm here and alive, no need to worry. Since I got the laptop and an internet connection in the room there will be heaps of posts and pictures, so stay tuned! xx
