Greeting Ladies and gentlemen

Hey every one. As for my first post, I’m going to make a short introduction of myself... But first you need to know I’ve never had a blog before, I don’t really know how it is suppose to be written, how often you’re supposed to update it... and so on...


All Im trying to say is that my blog may look bad but ill try my best to improve it ^^. And I will try to share all my experience of Boston with you guys.


Ok here we gooo!.. Let’s start with the easy stuff. My names is Khai, I’m 25 years old and I’m from Paris. Yep that’s right, Paris like.. the Eiffel Tower. Paris Like “Sacred heart”. Paris like the good wine and the stinky cheese... ^^. It is such a romantic city and there are a load of place where you can take a date out and score some point. My favorite is probably the “Pont de Mirabeau” also known as “ The lovers bridge”. It is said that when you kiss your date while crossing this bridge, eternal love awaits you.


Here is a pic of me BTW




I’m currently studying in the ESG, ( Paris graduate school of management) and my major is International business. I am on my forth year and for the second semester we are asked to study abroad. Esg had some sort of exchange programm with boston so I took the opportunity. Indeed, I’ve always wanted to study in america so badly to meet new people, learn about other culture and so on...


As for my hobbies, I like to hang out with my friends, go to nightclubs and Movie Theater... I know, not very original.. Oh… I also like Iceskating.. Oh yeah.. Actually, I luuuv Iceskating.. It’s so much fun and it is a nice place to meet people as well. Ok Ok.. You got me... By people, i mean some hot chicks^^ (that is so true). I’ve heard there was an outside ice skating rink in boston and Im planning to go there soon. Anyone wants to join me? ^^


So, as you can see.. I have a very exciting life... Not many hobbies.. No girl friend... Oh wait... have I mention that before? Yeah you read right... Im single!! Perfect freedom...

Ok enough about me... Now let’s talk about my firt impression about Boston.


So when I arrived at the Boston airport, it was dark and freezing... So freezing that iIcouldn’t feel my finger tips... I was like “what the hell? How am I suppose to survive in this weather? It’s so extreme!! I was wearing like 5 layers underneath my coat but It felt like I was naked”. Then I took a cab to my residence. I was so excited to meet all my floor mates. Will there be any ambiance in my floor? Any chance of meeting a girl? I ‘ve even thought about “pick up lines” and other good icebreaker... However, when I arrived... The place was totally quiet. Not a single student. No noise.. No ambiance... Nothing. I was very confused and worried... Indeed, I don’t wanna live in a dorm where nothing happens, I mean who does? Then I realized that all BU residence close their room during winter vacation. This is why there was no one. But still, I felt lonely for couple days...


First night, first trouble.

I finally opened my room, I realized that there was no blanket. So I rushed the closest market in the street ( Good Will ) in the freezing desert. And bam, the shop was already closed...  For this first night, I had to use my towel as a blanket cuz my room was freezing cold. And my bed felt like i was sleeping in a huge bag of plastic. It was a rough night.


As you may have noticed, my first impression are just based on this first day...But i guarantee you, the next ones was so much more exciting. ^^
