Dear,
u dont know how much difficulty i met here.now i am be on line in the Uni library .2nd time to come here, i havent been on line for a long time. i can see chinese in these pcs , but i cant type chinese. just english.my Uni is Universiteit Maastricht.
when i arrived at holland on august 22, the car of my Uni went to the airport to meet us(6 chinese students). but the city Maastricht where we study is very far from the the capital city Amsterdam. latter, the strange thing happened. 6 chinese r arranged to live different guesthouse in different place! my God! when i arrived at my room, it has been 12:00pm of holland time. i began to feel a little afraid, i dont know the way, i dont know how to get to my Uni, i dont know where my chinese friends live! and all the people spoke Dutch, but not english! and Aus 22 is Fri day, in the weekend, all the supermark will be shut off! but i had no food! and we have not mobile phone to contact each other! terrible!
yes, time will help us, different environment will change someone, at last, we overcome the problem, and, there is no taxi in the street, the taxi should be booked by phone at first, but how can i know when i will get lost in the road?! we asked many many Ducth and find the way to my Uni, but we had to walk for nearly 2 and a half hours to go to our Uni, so far!so we need the bike! u cant imagine how expensive is the bike here, even the second hand bike costs 170 Eu! my God!
all the things r expensive here, including the food, but the milk and noodle r cheap, so every day, i eat noodle and bread, and i often have no time to have the lunch. these day, we r busy to find the cheap food, cheap bikes, cheap house to move! and the new term of Uni begins, the price of the books frightened me! every year has 4 blocks to learn, but the books of the block 1 costs us 225 Eu! Crazy! so i am busy to find the second books, or copy some books. i feel faint! we just copy some books yesterday, then, many many homework have to been done, coz today there is a discussing meeting. i didnt go to bed until 12pm yesterday, and got up 4:35 today to continue the preparation of the discussion today. now i really know what is "tired"!
i feel pound that i havent cried in the airport. but when my Mum called me latter and asked me if everything is ok, ask :" do u have enough food, do u have warm blanket... i do want to answer "no". but i did answer :ÿes, i am ok! at that moment , i wanted to cry.
i know everything should be overcame by myself, no one can help me, i should become much stronger in spiric, i know i can do. i have confidence.
dont worry about me, i am ok.
hope God bless u and me.
miss u so much!
