Normally, I'd say it's so hot I'm burning. But no. No, no, no, no, no. Being in Hong Kong with this humidity and heat, I'm steaming like a little xiaolongbao. Ha. I'm so corny.
So it's day 2 of settling in and I'm still having trouble eating and sleeping. At this rate, I'll be withering away in no time so I really hope all the yummy food in Hong Kong starts enticing me soon. On that note, I've been on a mad (not really) hunt to find tong sui because that's really the only thing I feel up to for eating right now. Let's not jinx it though. I already feel it happening.
We learned to take the subway ourselves today and the hardest part is really not dropping the change when I buy my ticket. Really.
I've also had trouble with my hair dryer. The adapter was not a converter as well (which I kind of knew and took my chances anyways) aaaaaand.....it blew apart my hair dryer. That sounds a bit extreme so I'll just clarify. I turned on the hairdryer and then there was a popping sound and then I looked on the floor and a piece of the fan in the back was laying on the floor halfway across the room. Granted, the room isn't terribly big at all.
Apart from those few glitches and the elevator ride, I really like it here. A big part of it does have to do with the fact that I'm not stranded on campus in the midst of trees like at Babson though. It feels nice to be able to actually go places!
Now then, all I need to do for now is meet my buddy (which will happen tomorrow -- yay!) and meet my roommate too. I've been living with two of her bags these past two days. That's it. Just her bags...
