1:32

It's 1.32am, I intended to go to bed at 11, but ended up watching TVB dramas till late, hee hee. Jessica Hester Hsuan, I guess probably better known as Xuan Xuan, one of my favorite TVB actresses and Imperial alumnus. Catching up on her old stuff, my childhood and really, wasting time. And to think I'd be doing tons of reading here, haha!

So sorry that I've been lazy with photos, I haven't taken a single photo in Lyon. It's embarrassing taking photos like a tourist when I'm trying to blend in and pretend I totally belong here. The city is intoxicatingly beautiful, perhaps not at first sight, but I grow to like it more and more everyday. But frustration also grows when a different school means a different pace, different habits and rules. Like no eating in class? Seriously...Clearly a rule meant to be broken.

Also trying to get used to storeowners taking long, 2 hour lunch breaks, when banks take Mondays off, when restaurants close at 2pm, when Sundays means NOTHING is open, when sending documents overnight to the US costs 56 Euros and when faxing 5 sheets of paper costs 30 Euros. A different pace of life, different costs too.

I think I still prefer having everything available immediately and readily heehee.

Happy Chinese New Year by the way, I really miss nian gaos!
