Hi all! Thanks for your wishes, care, and gifts! I've arrived safely, albeit w much difficulty, haha. First the flight met a lot of turbulence, so it was a bumpy ride. But thank God I managed to reach safely. Nothing much on the first day in shanghai. Stayed at a hotel for a night and met up with the rest of the NTU Suzhou people and went for briefing in Shanghai NTU office. Had my first China meal there, not fantastic. Not to my liking as you all expected. Haha.
Came to Suzhou, went apartment viewing. Not very successful. Only viewed 2 apartments today. We liked one of it pretty well, near company. But owner can only move out on the 21st. =( Work starts on 18th. No good. Bunking in with another group now, so there's 7 people in the house now. House is quite spacious, but still, I hope I can get my own apartment soooon! More apartment viewing tomorrow, hope that we can find a good apartment.
On the brighter side, we had the chance to see fireworks near our apartment!!! I said that the fireworks on New Year was awesome, THIS, is beyond AWESOME!.. It's like never ending. Very long. One after another, like freeeee~ Haha.. Love it! And we were very near to it. Never so near before that it actually seem scary. Haha.
Suzhou is a really nice place. Very beautiful at night! Other than the food that I don't like, and the damn cold weather, I think I kind of like it here. O, and crossing the road here is a skill sia! Difficult to master, and damn dangerous, like will get run over easily. Haha. But so far so good, don't be too worried about me, I'll learn to cope w the freaking weather. Argggh!
