First week in Kuching

So now we have been in Kuching just over a week and have settled in the city and our new home which is really nice: we all have big rooms upstairs and a balcony, a huge living room and a kitchen downstairs (where couple of lizards live too). 


Last week we went to enroll at the University,which is no further than 2 kilometers away but it is almost impossible to walk there as there are no sidewalks. We had 2 days of orientation which wasn't really what we expected it to be as we felt like we were back in secondary school. :D After the orientation, on Friday we went to see the Sarawak Cultural Village (about 35km from the city, near mount Santubong) which introduces the ethnic diversity of Sarawak. There were many longhouses which you could enter and wonder around and also a dance performance in a theater. We met loads of people at Uni already during our first week here and invited them to our very first house-party in our place which was on Saturday!

This guy was playing Beatles songs which I found quite amusing. :D

And this guy tried to hit on a girl from the audience...

First houseparty at our place! And there are many more to come...:)

So that was our first week here. This week we are having our first lectures and tutorials at Uni and  in the weekend we are heading to Damai beach to get tanned! :)
