day 4

Its been 4 days now.

I arrived in Duino on Friday afternoon *Duino is 6 hours behind Singapore in summer* with like 3 pieces of big luggage and a haversack. Whew.

Am now in the computer room, after coming back from Trieste, the nearest major city, which had its origins as a port in the Austro-hungarian Empire. Lots of history here yeah.

The residence that I have been given is a wonderful one, complete with kitchen, basement and lots of nice rooms. It's more a house than a hostel, with 15 girls and a house tutor. i have 3 room mates, from Hungary, Italy and Norway and other residence mates from countries like Venezuela, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece... Pretty multinational.

Theres more. We just had a physical activities briefing today and I really really hope to take climbing *real limestone cliffs!!!*, sailingandkayakingandhikingandmusic lessonsandsocialserviceandsomethingtodowithscience! Oh. and did i mention that there are only 24 hours in a day? Whoops.

Anyway, we will see if we can do some magic, and in the meantime. Take Care and Ciao!
