The day has come: In several hours we’ll leave Hong Kong for Vietnam. On one side I feel sad to leave UST and all my new friends here — I really had a great time =) But on the other side I also look forward to meet my family in Vietnam again.
I won’t leave Hong Kong forever, that’s for sure! Because I know that if I’m going to be back, I can always call my friends for a come-together ^^…so wait for me guys.
In the last days I tried to spend as much time as possible in the city, doing my last shopping trips, meet my friends. On Tuesday I met Crystal, Walter and Mantra, they were in the ODE (ordinary differential equations) course with me and we met by chance (you chose the right seat, Crystal!) ;D
Crystal and Walter even backed mini cheese cakes for me with my name — it was so nice of you.
Today I went out with Lorraine and Ebe. We talked a lot and made the last pictures. In the evening we watched Madagaskar 2, really funny ><..
I hope to see you all someday, you’re amazing friends ^^~~

Sorry, that I have to take a break from posting Japan entries. But due to the fact that I’ve caught a cold and that I’m too tired after my shopping afternoon with Ebe, I’ve to postpone the Kobe article.
I hope you are looking forward to the Kobe entry!

When I went swimming yesterday morning, I wondered why it was so unusually windy.
Then, in my ODE-lessons (Ordinary Differential Equations) I found the answer. Chrystal — my friend from Hong Kong — told me that there was a typhoon approaching Hong Kong.
It was my first typhoon, that’s why I was a little excited how it would be to stand out a typhoon. So I asked for some surviving tips. She told me that if the typhoon was called number 8, than all restaurants and shops on campus will be closed — except McDonnald’s — and that I should increase my stock of instant noodles.
Another tips was that I should pay attention to the windows, because if there is havy rain, they will leak. But I don’t have to worry as long as my room wasn’t at the end of the corridor — what it however was.
In the afternoon the wind became stronger. We had a very good view at the sea from the bridge, the water was flared up and many students took photos of the waves….me, too. Then I thought it was time to go to Parknshop (the supermarket) — unfortunately, the hole university had the same idea. I’ve never been in such a situation before. It resembled a TV report about the German seasonal sales, where people were hustling to get the last T-shirt of the shop.
The typhoon itself was dissapointing — or should I say it luckily didn’t make any big damages? No heavy rain, no collapsing trees, no flying garbage cans…only wind. So I’m awaiting the next REAL typhoon.

Hi everybody!
This is my first time I’m writing on a blog. It is to give you some insight of my life at the HKUST: housing, studies, social life and my trips in Asia.
I use English as I think that I’ve to improve my English. To those who don’t like this language (I’m thinking of a very special person now :p ) I think that it is a win-win situation for us. I can get better and you can get used to English. If I’ll have time, maybe I also post some blog entries in German as well as Vietnamese.
I hope that I can post as many entries as possible. I think my blog situation will improve once I get my MacBook and my iPod Touch so I don’t need the computer hall of the UST anymore.
And maybe I’ll get used to the English keyboard style some day.
So, let’s have fun together.
