Hong Kong Exchange Day 1

This is my first time that I went to Hong Kong and I was so excited to see how's the lifestyle, the environment as well as the people in Hong Kong are like as compared to the Hong Kong drama. When I reached the Hong Kong airport, I was unable to differentiate Hong Kong and Singapore yet since the environment are quite similar to Singapore. However, the differentiation point occurs to me when they start to speak in Cantonese which I don't really understand a single Cantonese in my life. (How I wish that there are subtitles appearing at the bottom on my view so that I can understand what they are talking about)

When I reached the airport, the employees are quite helpful when I approached them for help. With this, I successfully reached HKUST via red taxi (HK$280). When I first step upon HKUST, the view of the school was quite magnificent and the so called central forum was huge with high and transparent ceiling. I try to guide myself to Hall VI with the help of the signs along the way and I reached Hall VI successfully and my body was covered with sweat since the weather was extremely hot on that day when I arrived.

When I reached the Hall, I realize that I can only checked-in after 2pm thus I have 3 hours to spare so I decide to tour around the school and familiarize with the school environment as well as having my first meal in Hong Kong. The school is quite comprehensive in terms of catering to the student who stay in school as there are supermarket, barber shop, banks, various restaurants as well as co-op shops.

After I did my checked in at around 2.30PM, I settle down in my room and unpacked all my stuff. Later at night other two of my course mates have arrive as well and we take a tour around the school to find out where is the nearest bus-stop so that we can go for our mini tour on the very next day.

Well I didn't took any photo on day 1, so no picture for this post
