Life at HKU... Getting settled!!!

Hong Kong.. Now I spent more than a month in this city. Took me some time to get settled here. But as many of you might be knowing, it won't took me more than 15 mins to make my first friend in Hong Kong. It was Allen who took me all the way from airport to my hostel ( About an hour's journey.) He was the only taxi driver with whom I could communicate in English.. :)
So he just dropped me near the Hostel where I was supposed get a room. And you know it took me atleast 10 Mins to figure out the entrance. In Hong Kong almost all buildings are interconnected with some other building and there are separate blocks inside the same premises. So its a bit confusing if you are new to the place.

First day at University was excellent. I attended a high table dinner on the first evening itself. Amazing Experience it was!! I mean in India I only knew one way to eat..Like Bhukkad!!!
It was something more polished and polite way with nice ambiance.. Take look at this..










So it was a very nice and exciting first week. Got some new local friends. Get to know better my room mates. My room mates are from HongKong, Mainland China and Korea. So it is nice sharing the room with these people. Get to know many things and nice to share the experience
No.. I never bored them up with my TCS stories..!!!

Now its over a month.. And I almost ate every possible creature available on Hong Kong land ( except Humans .. I only eat Human Brains!!! ) So I tried with duck, octopus, beef ( Mumma ko mat batana!!), Pork, Dry Fish, Saloman, Tuna (Fish is Veg in HK), Squid, Shark and sometimes something that even I dont know.. And they can only tell me the chinese names..
Gosh..But I had some skin allergy eating local sea food... So now I don't go to local ones..
But I like the food here... its sweet but you can eat it!!

And what else.... Hmm. enjoying my days at school.. Nice to take bag and attend the classes Monday to Friday.. After 3 years of total non-sense.. its nice to do some sensible things..

I feel like I have De-educated myself in last 3 years.. Lots of good things happened in the world when Saurabh Jadhav was doing the donkey work.. Really nice to be back in the world of knowledge. Its like redefining my life and rediscovering myself.

I miss my all friends back home. Especially the closest ones with whom I used to spent almost all the time in office.. Sajid, Shivani,Ashish,Vanik,Rajesh, Karthik,Gokul... And also my close friends from OSCA..he he. It was nice that Tariq... My friend was here and we enjoyed a lot in HK. Hugging and Kissing almost every female..LoL..That was fun!!

I clicked lots of pics of tall buildings in Hong Kong in first few days. But now I dont feel like as I see it almost daily. Now I think why people used to look at me in that way when I used to stop and take snap of every tall building..he he...
I am enjoying my time here... With New friendz.. Bye for now..
I know I am not blogging regularly these days but I guess I never did that..ha ha ha!!!
Miss you all..Take care..Here is a look at Hong Kong..
This pic is 20 days old. Now I have reduced a lot!! So Please.....No Comments!!!
