What was I doing last two days...

Hello again,

So as I have received a few phone calls and text messages asking what do I do, I'll disclose information here.

On Tuesday, I went to Macau as I needed to activate my visa in order to finally register as a student. Macau is an Island, some 50+ kilometers from Hong Kong, famous for its casinos. I was going there with a few newly met friends (the number is increasing each day), we had fun trip. In Macau we didn't made far, but still looked at some casino made miracles - artificial volcano and imtitation of the most visited toursit places (coliseum, ...).
On Wednesday, I had a few information sessions of how to live in Hong Kong. Later on, I went to Mong Kok with a bunch of french exchange students. Mong Kok is a big shopping district, you can everything there, from shoe ties to air conditioners. Unexpectedly the mobile phone prices were the same as in my home country, but I still believe it's because I didn't find the right shop. Everyhting else is cheap, relatively.

In the evening of the same day, some 200 exchange students like me went to the light show. Hong Kongeans have installed plenty of light equipment on the skyscrappers and made it blink according to music. It wasn't very cool, but still something new... Afterwards we went to some kind of fancy restaurant where we have boiled the food (strange things like kidneys and mushrooms) ourselves. It was pretty fun :)
