蛋說無坊

        My first night is really sleepless in Seattledue to the damn jet lag. (>.

        Well, it is still hard to believe that I am in Seattle now for the following nine months. Everything here is so strange for me. The sense of unfamiliarity even makes me numb towards its beautiful scenery. Fortunately, all friends I meet in UW are really nice and enthusiastic. Without their kindness during this first day, I would not have any confidence to get through the rest nine months.

         When arriving at Sea Tac Airport, I was totally useless while standing in front of those two heavy luggages. (-_-) Poor Aidan and Neil, in addition to their own luggage, they had to help me move mine all the time. About 2:30 pm, Simon and Anteony who I had contacted via TOSA come to pick Aidan and me up. We drove to visit Ruru who would have her second year in UW MBA right away.

         Ruru took Aidan and me to open local bank accounts at Bank of America (BOA). I found my English is so so so poor and influent. (>.         It was nearly 6:30 after we settled down the bank accounts and T-Mobile. Hospitable Ruru invited several UW fresh graduates to have dinner at Thai 65. It was my first meal in Seattle. The dishes tasted good, but my mind was full of where to find a house for the following period. -_-

         After dinner, everyone helped Aidan and me to move our huge luggages to our temporary place- Allegro Apt R406. It is really a high-class studio, but costs $30 one night. Because Neil also temporarily stayed in the same apartment, we went to visit him and tried to know new friends here. And then, something unbelievable happened!!

 (up: sleeping bag, backpack,....and lots of stuff on the bed in Allegro R604-_-)        

        Neil lived in a 3-bed room with the other two UW MBA girls, Whitey and Carrie who have been in Seattle for almost a month. When seeing their room already furnished and filled with every necessity and commodities, I envy to death. (>.       Afterwards, Aidan, Neil, Sunnie and I went to see where Iris lives. It is in “Michelle Apartment” near the intersection of 9^th Ave and 43 St. When entering the room, I thought mom’s 佛水 might really work well because I liked this room very much. It is simple and clean, a traditional western design. Also, Iris is a lovely girl who majors in LLM. Without much hesitation, I made my mind to rent the 2-bed room with Iris at the mean time. It must be the greatest news to mom and dad. Thus, when going back to Allegro R604, the temp place for my first night, I phoned mom and dad via Skpe to share my luck with them.

         Hehehe, it is really a wonderful start for me in Seattle though it is hard to fall asleep this night. ^^
