Welcome to Lund, Sweden

alright, i'm finally online... whee.... so many emails i have to reply to. like this is so ridiculous because in the past few weeks when i'm so free and have access to the internet, nobody cares to email me, and when i'm here for juz a few days and have no access to the internet, every single office has to email me to ask me for details about my exchange trip.

anyway i guess this is going to be a long entry since it's my first after 3 days in Sweden.

okay, let's see.... on my first day......... oh yah, i arrived by the train from Copenhagen and alighted at Lund Central, afterwhich i walked to The Train. "The Train" is a youth hostel located beside the train station. Look at the pictures to see how it looks like ba. Abit hard for me to describe. Or rather, i'm too tired from the past few days of walking around aimlessly.

Got to know many people during my 2 days stay in The Train. Many of which are Masters students and most of them are from China. The others come from Canada, Germany, Morocco, etc. Got to meet an Architecture student and 5 Business students all from NUS though.

I guess I shld just post pictures with captions ba.... I don't really know what to type to describe my first few days here too haha. But the weather is pretty good. Bright sunlight with chilly winds... about 21 deg C ba.

Okay let me just post the pictures taken.
