We have done quite a few orientation type activities now and they are so much fun. The first meeting was a lot of question games to get us all to talk and get to know each other. My table happen to have 5 or 6 Americans, a boy from Sweden, a girl from Pakistan, and a girl from Holland. It has been so great to be able to actually recognize faces walking around campus. Me and my flat mate (Christina) from Canada have befriended quite a few Australians somehow as well as some of the girls from my group who are from Wisconsin. It's great to have a little group of people to go out with. I think the study abroad program here has done a great job of making all of us international students feel like one big family. A lot of students moved out of our flat today which means that a bunch more international students should be moving in. Erin is a girl from down the hall who I met today (and is also from Australia). I also met the girl next door to her who is from Brazil. Me, Erin and Christina are thinking about signing up for a trip to London in two or three weekends to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Apparently London has the largest celebration in Europe and it's pretty amazing.
This is a picture of me, Christina, Jackie (from Australia), and Chelsea (from Wisconsin)

And a better picture of the tower at the entrance to campus.
