I owe a lot to him, because I have really made some great friends in this group. We have all banned together forwarding little tips and what not back and forth about almost anything, from shopping to food and everything in between. When I have a question I know there is someone who can answer it that wont look at me like I have four heads. I have become friends with a number of the other exchange students and have continued to spend time with them both in class, oh yeah they started and there is a blog coming later this week about it, and in the evenings. As Becca writes there are students here from Sweden, Germany, Norway, UK, England, France, Spain, Mexico, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and probably more that I cant remember. Anywho its been nice meeting them and learning about their experience here and their home cultures. At the end of our fun filled week we had a culminating BBQ and everyone chilled out all night grilling and hanging around the fire. I had many great converstions. I hope to learn more from them in the months to come and even travel with them and such. Check out the pics with some of my new friends. There will be more in the along with great adventures with these new friends.

exCHANGE
When arriving I assumed there would be other exchange students but I didn't know if I would meet them. Turns out I did. There was a facebook group, is there anything that doesn't have a facebook group, for the exchange students and after joining I found out about a plethora, favorite word ever, of events every night to meet others and her majesties Hong Kong. With our fearless local leader Lorencio we traveled around both by day and night as you have heard through my previous posts and boy was it fun.
