I arrived to Thailand 2 weeks before the Orientation week started so I booked a hotel in Patong and lived there for 2 weeks. One of my classmate arrived a few days later so we shared the accomodation. I have never been to Asia so everything was really new to me, especially the traffic and food. I have never seen as much vehicles as here in my life and never eaten as much rice as here. We spent our first weeks with exploring beaches and asian food. This area is really touristy, so its more expensive than Kathu or Phuket town . Bangla road is the main attraction what made Patong Beach famous. The nighlife is amazing there and you can enjoy it Monday to Sunday. New students arrived day to day so we had many programs with them, fortunately Lara, my sweet flatmate is also arrived in July. The 1st of August we moved in to Delight Village, what is really close to the university. We have our own pool, what is really neccessarry to have in this weather.
First beach time with Lara and Angelina. It was really warm but the beach was beautiful and we had a really chill and lovely day. Since I know my mind, I work and study at the same time so after this lifestyle the island life was even better than I imagined before.
My favorite russian restaurant in Patong. Their chicken satay is the best I have ever tried in Thailand !
Before the orientation week started, Lara and I organised a party where we met with the others and with Colin, who is responsible for international students. The first 2 weeks went by really fast and we were ready to start the school.
August was one of my busiest month in my life. We had the orientation week on the first week and at the end of the week we went to Koh Phi Phi. After the orientation week we started school but at the same time I had leftover exams from Denmark so I had 2 weeks of exam period. After it we went to Malaysia for 5 days, I had to finish my internship applications and we had many school programs and parties at the same time. In my next blog, I will tell you more about the orientation week and the university life and share some Malaysian experiences!
