Day...3?

Things I've learned:

1 - Waiting for a table? Go stand next to it until the people there are done and leave
2 - Haven't seen any black people on campus (edit: saw two, but that was at Tsim Sha Tsui which is more populated/a shopping area)
3 - People driving on the other side of the road isn't that weird to see, it's only a problem when you're crossing the street. Looking the wrong way is never a good thing
4 - Octopus card = win
5 - So far, Europeans and Canadians seem to be the friendliest (at least that one's I've talked with)

After a bunch of orientation meetings this morning...

-Skipped out on even more meetings to play basketball (1-1, games to 5)
-Went to Tsim Sha Tsui for dinner/shopping. Caught the last two minutes of the daily light show, but will definitely have to check that out again
-Seating 16 people for dinner is never easy. Small food portions too. Booooo. Good times though
-Language/logistical/accounting skills are great for big groups. Probably small groups too
-Got a SIM card, so I'm now cellular. Still need to do more shopping though

Tsim Sha Tsui was very interesting, lots of people, neon, and shopping. Kind of overwhelming (pictures on flickr soon?), but in the end I hit the wall and wanted to be back in my room. I blame jet lag
