I cannot begin to express how excited I am for this... in fact, the only reason why I chose Schulich over the other schools was because of an HK exchange. AGH... majorly excited! There are two reasons why I decided to document my travels via a blog: (1) It allows me to communicate my adventures to friends and family; and (2) it will serve as an effective medium to walk down memory lane x number of years into the future when I am (a) reminiscing about the good ol' days or (b) needs something to procrastinate with.
Things to still do:
- Purchase insurance
- Call HKU and try to apply for a change in residence... this one is somewhat bitter sweet. I have been accepted to this beautiful place (http://www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments_56.php) but given it distanced proximity to the school and other residences, I have decided to apply for a transfer. Lets see how this one works out.
- PACK
- Pick up my suits
- Get my beddings in order
- Exchange some money into HK$ and the rest into US$
- Bring a Schulich t-shirt/sweater (not too happy about this one, but HKU has asked us too)
- Plan out travels. I have so far made a list of countries I want to visit, but I have not planned out any dates. The countries so far include: Japan, S. Korea, Macau, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, Laos, and Australia (surfing!!!!!!!!!!!!)
If anyone has any info on the above countries or good contacts, much appreciated!!
EEEEXXXXXCCCCCIIIITTTTEEEDDDDD.... but I should go without any expectations, as I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. Nevertheless, SUPER excited, especially about the night life and possibly some xiaojies?!
