Settling Down

Day 1 and 2 was a bit of a panic. Trying to get the right key for my college room was a little challenging. The porter sent me running up and down 3 times before i managed to get a key that could properly fit into the door! Great. Then trying to buy minimal things was a challenge. It seem that every "want" became a "need".

Finally... Moved into my room last night... got everything up and sorted.

My "dorm" room in Cambridge

Did a walk through the small city of Cambridge.

Streets on a Saturday afternoon

My Tea Shop

Haha, i laughed when I saw this tea shop!!! It's so ME!!!

Small Talk

Eew. I hate making small talk. But I guess it's the thing that will help me make some new friends here.

Top (and only) 5 questions:
1. Where are you from
2. What are you studying
3. Which college
4. Where do you live
5. When did you arrive

Then I'm stuck. Sum... I finally understand what you are going through.

I think as we all grow older, we (rather, I) start to suck at the small talk business.

Hello Cambridge

Singapore - the familiarity kicks in.
Melbourne - in blocks, and the directory (Melways) is excellent.
Dubai - just one main street (SZR), everything else is just along the coast and easy to figure out.
London - Speechless.
Cambridge - to be decided.

Speechless. Let's start with...
1. the Roads. Tiny streets fill the city. I think there's probably about 10mm between cars. Almost impossible for a fat person (like me) to walk in between two cars.
2. the Traffic. If you think Dubai has bad traffic... try central london traffic. Annoying. Abosolutely.
3. the People. Met so many strange people doing strange things. Why like this?

Hello Cambridge...
Finally - got to Cambridge today.
Nice small little town. I think I'm gonna like this place! More post to come...

Immigration Card - I can finally call myself a student (AGAIN!)
