Two and Ten

Yesterday marked two full months in HK, and tomorrow will be the start of the tenth week. It's been really fast, and while walking along the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR travelators, it occured to me that in some way, I have unknowingly been assimilated into the HK environment.

Just a few weeks back, I was standing on the wrong side of the very same stretch of travelators, observing the speed at which the people here walk, attentively listening out to conversations in cantonese, looking at the different types of advertisements in the station, and basically just quietly observing and experiencing a place unlike home. Now, I just simply walk from point A to B without all the in-betweens I mentioned.

The past week have been much better than mid term week, although deadlines and meetings are still creeping in here and there. I've stepped out of school much more, and have actually had more time for soccer and working out. Marx and Weber presentation was a mini disaster, but well no pressure there (privilege of exchange student again). Filming is starting to show signs of intensity, but it's seriously an eye-opening experience, and I hope all works out fine and well.

Been reading the blogs of those at home, and together with all the MSN nicks and facebook statuses, its obvious that it's that time of the semester again. Well hang in there, and all the best! Oh and if you find yourself playing more games and stoning more during this period, don't worry, it's normal :) It will eventually all work out fine. Cheers peeps!
