I arrived with two duffel bags - and no they did not have wheels. An entertaining image you can visualize is me literally dragging my very heavy (well heavy for me) bags around campus. Why didn't I bring my normal suitcase you may be asking yourself - well, The baggage limit was 20 kilos which is about 40 pounds in total, but you can have as many bags as you would like. How nice! My suitcases have a hard, durable back on them - but this add extra weight! So I arrived on campus with my duffel bags in tow - feeling like I was in the army!
That evening we tried to find something to eat on campus which turned out to be a fiasco. You see, campus wasn't open yet. So there were no decent restaurants open. We trekked to the on-campus pub - but by the time we got there they stopped serving food. However, the beers were flowing! So we ended up back at our dorm still hungry. Luckily three of us had went on a grocery shopping spree (our bags look like a pile of trash) and shared all of our frozen meals and it turned out to be a hearty meal!
I never thought I would go hungry in a country where English is the first language!
