Orientation on 27 and 28th Aug 2008

Date: 27th and 28th August 2008

Venue: David Strong Building

Time: 0900hrs

It was an orientation that is quite unlike in Singapore, more administrative stuff than fun. We were served with coffee, juice, muffins and fruits when we arrived and an opening speech by Assoc Dean of Business School. It was followed by a short ice-breaker, a session of getting to know other exchange students a bit better.

Afterwhich, we were split into groups classified according to our last names for a campus tour. Most of the time, I was talking to 2 guys: 1 from Korea, the other from Czech Republic. It was kind of enjoyable getting to know people from other nations. Me and the Czech was talking about the pension system, about political system in their home country, etc. What a great start! And definitely I did not expect things to be that way.

For lunch, we had salad, burgers and bbq meat. I enjoyed the chatting session that I had with the 2 smu girls, guy from czech republic, Korean guy and the Turkey Lady.
