ALL SORTS OF COMPANY...

Yay! I finally have a roommate! Mio arrived today. She is very sweet and nice, a major relief - after all I'm going to share a room with her for a whole year.

Also have met a few other exchange students by now so it doesn't feel as spookily empty here anymore. There's gonna be a couple of events arranged by the international office later this week so should meet more people there. All the exchange students I've met so far seem super confident and outgoing, but then again you wouldn't really come this far from home on your own if you very a complete social retard :)

Hmm I think I’m slowly getting used to the heat, I’ve been walking a lot outside the last couple of days and it wasn’t too bad at all. On the other hand, the day when I arrived was one of the hottest so far this summer and it has actually cooled down a bit. Still nearly 30 C though, can't complain! There's apparently some great beaches in Hong Kong, need to go and explore them at some point!

I feel like there's so much to tell but keep forgetting things! I really should carry a notebook with me all the time and write things down when they happen...

There was a massive cockroach in my room last night. It was insanely gross. I mean I grew up in the countryside, so I can deal with all sorts of bugs but that one was stupibly big with stupidly long antennas. Luckily one of my flatmates was in and rescued me (she studies biology so have no problem with pretty much anything that moves). I'll never ever leave my window open again here.
