Throwing achtung into the wind
once i had my hands on the mumford and sons berlin concert ticket (after an intense bidding war that lasted 48 hours, spanning 2 exam papers), i knew that i was up for the craziest weekend of my life.
carpooling (which is basically a glorified term for hitch-hiking) across germany (rotterdam-hamburg-berlin) because it was the only way i could afford to travel last minute on an easter...

Born in the 1920s
Too many things to remember/write about the past 3 days, which started as a crazy idea to hitchhike from Rotterdam to Berlin (stopping by hamburg) for a Mumford and sons concert. Will come back to this.
Went to my (first!) couchsurfing host’s parents place yesterday evening to watch the hamburg-Munich soccer match. It was the neighborhood where they grew up in, and also the most beautiful...

Driving in Iceland
I remember how the stereo in our car played “Mountain Sound” both times we approached a waterfall - definitely some Icelandic voodoo at work there. The sensation of the car swaying slightly from the crazy winds threatening to veer us off the road, the lashing rain against the windscreen as we drove through the pitch black, guided only by headlights and road reflectors. The...

One month in
Almost a month since I left Singapore - I’ve just been having an awesome time in this turbulence of sun, snow, hail, fog, rain and wind (oh the wind). Europe has been amazing thus far: the sights, the strange weather, the people, the cacophony of languages in a place where “American” is refreshingly not the default tongue.
Lessons finally started this week: don’t seem as...

(This is the thing about recording your experiences: you need to do it at that very instant, when your heart hasn’t stopped thumping from excitement and while the emotion still lingers. It might be the effect of twitter/instagram, but I remember being more eloquent than this, despite the fact that whatever I wanted to write about happened days, weeks ago. This whole obsession about getting...

okay i told myself that i would document this exchange experience but everything’s been happening so fast and i find myself only being able to keep up via twitter (wifi-dependent) and instagram (which i’ve just gotten and kinda hate already). photos only tell so much, and so hard to express myself in 140 characters or less, so i had intended to be more shamelessly verbose here.

my favorite game is called “how many episodes can I watch in one night”
I love the bonus round where you try to convince yourself that you can watch a 45 minute episode in like 20 minutes

1. london calling
first two days in london have been whiffs of winter bark with overtones of police sirens, hastily-crossed streets and two-pound sandwiches. people are brusque and aloof, and only 1 out of 4 are native english speakers. marked the start of the entire exchange experience by getting myself on instagram, meeting friends, immersing in long-overdue conversations and catching up on each other lives.

really don’t understand firms that ask you legal/work-related questions during a job interview. like oh you’ve just learned company law last year so it should still be fresh in your head. first of all, you seem to have forgotten the variety and breadth of legal modules we take every semester. i don’t throw all my knowledge away after exams, but that doesn’t mean i’m...
