The Chaotic Adventures of Traveling

            In the few weeks of my winter vacation before my flight on New Year’s morning, I spent a lot of effort organizing my packing list, packing my bags, and weighing them over and over again. Despite all of this preparation, the day of departure for my study abroad still came very quickly and kind of left me sitting in my room on New Year’s Eve thinking: Wow, I won’t be back in this house until late May, and Oh jeez, I packed too much in my suitcase. After a last minute scramble to keep my suitcase from exceeding the weight limit and my overhead suitcase and carry on from exploding with things, I was ready to go. Well my overhead and carry were still exploding, and I still had to say goodbye.             I really hate goodbyes, especially when it’s with my little sister since we are so close. After about 6 separate hug sessions, my parents and I had to get going. Once...

Classes, Shopping, and Miscellaneous Things

            Unfortunately I could no longer think of this trip as a vacation because, as the term "study abroad" implies, it was time to study. Well, as much as one has to during syllabus week. At UMAC, there is an add/drop period during the first week of the semester, so the classes act as if this is like a trial run for the students and it made for a chill week overall. One of my first classes was Cinema Studies, and as the only exchange student in the class, I think my teacher asked me a dozen questions about my thoughts on the film industry in the first lesson.

However, I did see Psycho on the syll...

Top 5 Places in Taipa

For your convenience.              It has been a very relaxing week back in Macau after traveling for so long. One of the only notable things I got up to this week was exploring more of Taipa. In case you are confused, Taipa is basically the northern part of the island south of the Macau peninsula. This island is part of city of Macau and comprises of the regions of Coloane, Cotai, and of course Taipa. Fun fact: the University of Macau where I study is no where on this map. It's actually west of Coloane and across the water, on the land attached to the Mainland China city of Zhuhai. But the land is leased to Macau, so it's under Macau laws. Yeah it's a little confusing, but I figured I should explain. Anyway, I digress. A lot of people will say that Macau in general is not a very exciting place unless you're gambling; in that case it's a little exciting. Other than that, there are a few tourist attractions you can visit, but you only need a day or ...
