"It's the beginning of the end..."

Law orientation dinner was a little scary. It was held at the university law club and it started with a random socialising session where everyone stands around talking to each other, grabbing a bottle of Heineken or champagne as the waitresses walked pass. I found it difficult at first to join in those circles of japanese visiting masters students. So I decided to start with somewhere familiar- Indonesia! Haha. Luckily they're very nice people and talked to me even though I wasn't of much 'use' to them..since i'm only an exchange student. Apart from a German exchange student (LLM) I'm the only exchange student at the dinner. So yeah, I was the youngest. Some or many of the students there are my father's age!
Anyway the dinner was sumptuous. It's a candlelight banquet with a nice sunset view of the Washington lake and downtown. We have free flow of wine and champagne and the main course was baked salmon with olive rice! I was really excited to mix with the people there cos they're all big shots...I talked to vice president of Yamaha from Japan (when he handed me his name card I was smiling and gasping to myself..and he was like o.O wads wrong w u) ..doctors and professors from Indonesia..master students from top universities in China and korea..practicing lawyers from former Soviet Union, India, Japan..
And me..an exchange undergrad. :s But well, I'm here to gain..and I have nothing to lose! At least I ate dinner for free!

Food I have been eating so far:

At a thai restaurant..

Had authentic green and red curry chicken..

And fish and chips for dinner!

Here I am at Chinatown!

And had shao ya! (roast duck) for $6..haha only got meat..but i think i was too hungry then..all i can rmb is it tastes super good..and the cantonese uncle gave us warm water and let us sit down in his shop to eat even though the price is for take away.

As I was feeling sinful eating out everyday..I decided to share teriyaki with Seo hoon..and reduce my meal price to $4..

And finally..i decided to cook on my own to save more money! Chicken pasta..and it's edible.

Okie I've blogged two entries in one day!! Going to the zoo tmr!
Sleeping now..every one good night and good morning..
