*Phew* Finally found some time to write after a very busy first few days in Hong Kong!
I got over the jet lag very quickly, didn't really even experience anything on day one. I expect it was due to me adjusting my sleep schedule to the local time as soon as I got onto the plane! The airplane food was okay. Somehow it had taste, I expect airplane chefs are starting to gain an understanding of the science of eating in a plane, and I drank eight bottles of water (and went to the toilet quite a few times as well).
Getting mobile in Hong Kong was not that hard for me. My mother had the foresight to keep an Octopus card (an electronic prepaid money card used in Hong Kong) from the last time my family came to Hong Kong seven years ago, so I simply had to reactivate the card and I am able to use public transport again.
Moving into my university was smooth thanks to the help of my Aunt Sandra and Uncle Tom. Moving in on a Saturday was probably not the best idea. The majority of the staff was gone due to it being close to Chinese New Year and I was pushed into a room swap to a room that had a great sea view! (Check the pictures out on my Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/jamesysato) I got many great sights of the campus before I left to stay with my Aunt Lorraine and Uncle Peter (yes, I have a lot of relatives in Hong Kong - 4 uncles, 3 aunts, and 3 cousins immediately, and a few grand aunts and uncles and other relatives).
Since then, I have been sight seeing quite a bit! I went to hiking on a few mountains, went to the Chi Lin Nunnery, Giant Buddha, and the Avenue of the Stars and saw Jackie Chan's and Bruce Lee's handprints!!!
I am pretty much settled in now. I have all of the necessities I need, and all of my paperwork is taken care of. Let's see how this term goes!!!
