A lot has happened since I last posted, registering for classes, orientation days, paying fees for all kinds of stuff etc. Fortunately all those are done and I can now relax and visit the original Pizza hut!
Sorry about the dark picture, but I will take another one when I get the chance! This is the original pizza hut, the very very first one! Doesn't look much like pizza hut and its not opened either, but very interesting indeed.
The orientation was interesting, they even gave us a talk about american culture, more specifically if a woman dresses like they do (short shorts/skirts and revealing alot of skin) it does not mean they "want to be more than friends". Funny stuff. Also getting around is difficult without a car, so we came up with the idea of instead of getting a car, we get a girlfriend with a car, obviously!
I learnt that the uni campus doesnt have a club/pub, in fact the clubbing scene is pretty crap, they do however have a student center with bowling alleys and all kinds of restaurants, its safe to say that americans do like their food! I can see quite a few differences with UK and US universities, UK students love to party so they dedicate the first 2 weeks of term to party every night, US students dedicate the first 2 weeks of term to activites like, beach parties (no alcohol), ice skating, zoo outings and trips to Walmart... all with food and drink of course! I guess its because the age limit for drinking is pretty high in the states and everybody is still pretty much underage, they dont really promote the party scene that much. Well I did say I wanna try a different country, so I cant really complain. I'm already planning to travel during christmas break, since we get 5 weeks off, florida maybe?
Anyways classes start today and I best be getting ready to go!
