Here's a pic from the street sleepy sam's (the hostel) is on. The Sultan Mosque is in the background.
I got my luggage last night! I was ecstatic.
We found an apartment today =). It's about a 10 minute walk to the MRT (subway) and then only one stop away from the school. There are a million malls in this city so we're only about a 5 minute walk from a center with a grocery store, restaurants, fast food, and some stores. There will be 6 of us in the apartment. 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen and very large living room; i like it. My roommates (or flatmates as everyone calls them here) are Edouard (France), Leslie (France), Josep (Spain), Alba (Spain), and Kevin (Argentina). We'll hopefully be able to move in tomorrow.
We went to the club Zouk last night. A French DJ named David Guetta was there. I don't have any idea who he is but all of the Europeans were really excited, he's apparently pretty famous. It was cheaper if you arrived before 10 so we got there at 9:30 but ended up staying until 3:30am....waaay too much time. It was very fun though, and it was interesting to watch how everyone dances, but very tiring to dance for so many hours.
Nothing too exciting has been happening the past couple days, we've just been busy apartment shopping and going out to eat. I had sushi for the first time today and it was surprisingly good. The hostel had the game Jenga and I was the only one who had played before. A group of us played for over an hour yesterday and we played a few games again this afternoon. We played outside and people walking actually stopped to watch us and see if we would make it fall. We also nap a lot, somewhat because of the jet lag but also walking in the heat is exhausting. I am sweaty ALL THE TIME here. It's very gross.
that's all for now...
