My place

Its been awhile since i last post in this magnificent blog. Now i am no longer in my country, Malaysia but a place far far away, somewhere in the centre of europe, so they call.

Any idea? It is just Prague, capital of Czech Republic. It might sound a bit unfamiliar with this country in my place but its very popular amongst the EU countries.

Now this is the place that i'm going to stay for the next 6 years for my degree, MuDr. It is indeed a very nice place for you to tour around but for long stay here would be a bit of headache.

First of all, it is largely due to the far distance of my hostel from my campus, 30-50min to the furthest building! Imagine a class start at 8am in the morning...you have to wake up at...say 6.30am the latest! And imagine walking in the morning with wind blowing at temperature <10 degree celcius...ouch! For me, i feel as if i am walking in the large fridge meant to keep frozen chicken and beef, yeah...with the condensed air coming out from your mouth and nose as you breath.

Food is the second main factor. Its pretty hard to get food from around my hostel. Yes, the hostel do supply breakfast and lunch...but its until 2pm. And my class mostly finish after 3-5pm...Sometimes i have to buy bagety(type of bread with some salami or chicken or ect)

Food basically cost us RM10-RM20 for a normal meal we get from Malaysia. So its kinda sad that i can't always eat what i want...(although i don't care for the moment) =P

Transportation is rather cheap here...630 crown for 3 months...which is about RM100. But hostel rent is rather exp. It cost us 169 crown per night! Compared with 67 crown only in olomouc...when our allowance from JPA are about the same...sad.

And the metro(like KTM) here very effective...unlike the one in Malaysia...it move much faster(x5 speed of KTM). Very accurate as stated in timetable. Cool!

One thing weird about the hostel system is that the cleaning ladies are able to come into our room to clean up certain thing like floor and change new bedsheet...no security for out belonging...but as the people here are quite honest(as they said), so i trust them for the moment.

Temperature is dropping in my place...fluactuation is very high here as no sea surround this country. Winter will be hell for me if no extra heater in my room. The one available now is the hot water type that not very effective...that make me cold even its on!

I hope i could find a new apartment before the snow coming down.
