Ponned my first lecture today.. haha.. a few of us wanted to go down to glenelg beach to have a look see but in the end we ended up walking around chinatown.. i have never felt happier seeing char siew and roast duck! and apparently half a duck is only like 6 dollars.. haha.. after almost a week of being here, i finally ate rice today!!! never felt so satisfied in my life.. haha and the place we ate at gave very generous portions.. haha one portion for an australian is like enough to feed 3 of us.. and we only ended up paying like 2 bucks each for a very filling meal.. i think we should eat this everyday.. the only thing about this place is its so damn slack! shops close at 5! even most restaurants! where the hell do people eat dinner! there's like almost no life after 5! and the sun only sets at 8+ so its damn weird also.. too used to the sun setting at 6, 7+.. oh well.. lessons starting next week.. sian.. but at least will have something to occupy my time.. i think i should buy a tv to put in my room.. saw a cash converters here! maybe i could get a cheap tv.. and back to chinatown.. stepping into some of the shops there is like stepping into econ minimart! haha saw Yeo's packet drinks, salted fish, salted vegetables and chu qian yi ding! haha.. boy do i miss home..
