From Kampung NTU to Ulu Smalltown Columbia

Yes, Eveline and I have finally arrived in Columbia, Missouri last night. After three flights, with delays, endless customs and one bus ride no less. But we are finally here. We stayed at a hotel last night and moved into our dorms at last this afternoon. The weather’s here quite nice, around 5 degrees C, though Eveline thinks it’s cold. The irony is that she wants it to snow while I don’t (there was snow in Minneapolis but we didn’t go out of the airport). I think it will be a hassle to walk around with snow everywhere. Some pictures for you then.


I've travelled far and long to get here man

Scenes from the hotel

And my roommate's a Romanian called Ana Maria. There's not much people around here yet, since the halls only opens officially next week. Here's my contact details. Letters, presents, and the odd foodstuff from Singapore are very welcomed.

213B Laws Hall

University of Missouri-Columbia

1005 Maryland Avenue

Columbia, MO 65201-5101

USA

More pictures to come when I feel like braving the cold outside to take some. Have a good semester everyone!

PS: Columbia is slower than Singapore by 14 hours. So 10pm in Singapore is 8am in Columbia on the same day. Understood?

Good.
