The Next Stage of Life

FuFu Life in Frankfurt - Chapter One
2nd - 11th October 2009

Hey folks, it's been a while since i updated my blog here. Life has been quite busy for me the whole October as i am trying hard to settle down in Frankfurt, Germany as well as adapt totally a new life and learn German. I reached Frankfurt on the 2nd and classes started on the 5th with introduction week and presentations kept eating up my spare time. By the way, i am studying Urban Agglomerations at a graduate school in Frankfurt.

Alright, i just got the laptop from the university ten days ago. I am getting used to the weather here. Hence i think i could start to update my blog very often. I need to manage my time with my assignment well so i could share everything that happens here in Frankfurt with you guys. Anyway before i go into details, please have a look of those pictures taken during my first week in Germany.
