First day at school 07/01

Hello world, haven't had much time to blog since school started. Was pre occupied with quite a number of activities.
I don't know if I mentioned in my previous post but I have started to make a few friends at the dorm as well as in WHU considering how slow I open up to ppl. Hopefully, when I start my classes, I will get to meet even more Tauschies and perhaps regular students at WHU.

Another thing, my camera's not always with me and I donno why I don't make good use of it ..sheesh
On Monday, we head down to school for an introductory meeting at the chapel. Tell you, the journey to school is undescribable..The dorm is frricking far frm the school..like 15 minutes of walking..if that wasn't enuff..the way back to the dorm is the ultra killer!This is because, when you walk back up to the dorm, you are climbing gazillions of steps and steep slopes before you finally declare "home sweet home"...ahhhh such life..i shud have gone for krautkramer..since its the nearest..geesh
Ok after that..we had a tour of the university, which i wudnt call it a university..since its like SUPER SMALL can!i thought i may get lost in these buildings at first but turns out, its quite ez to navigate ur way round. The shops are super near..and most impt of all, Lidl is nearby too..So everytime when I'm at school(the past two days), I try to make good use of this opportunity to go Lidl and do some grocery shopping.Oh and Germany(and perhaps some parts of Europe) are serious about the environment, so NO PLASTIC BAGS when u shop, unless u pay for them.And we have to sort our rubbish when we cook, like bottles, plastic, paper and organic stuff..geesh
after that me, sybille and jane head down for lunch at a vietnamese restaurant where we had fried rice with chicken.Honestly, the meal wasn't that good compared to our stds back at home, but being the one who is not fussy, i gladly ate it all up since it was my first taste of rice for days, and mind you the portion is HUGE
yeps, then we went back for more info sessions on courses, german test..and VIP welcome dinner..
the VIP is basically a small committee in charge of organizing stuff for us Tauschies(exchange students) to make our life at WHU more fun!Dinner was great i guess, my first taste of the long bratwurst, super long can like 20cm or maybe even more..the meat wus tough cuz the sausage had a coating outside..together with bread and potato salad..yum..it made me full..oh plus beer, i had two sips and i gave up
