Hello Bristol!



Hi guys,

After a 12 and a half torturous flight, I have finally left the bustling city of Hong Kong and landed into the beautiful city of Bristol in the UK. I will be starting my five years medical degree here. 

I arrived at London in the wee hours of the morning and waited through immigration and took a 2 hour car ride to Bristol. I arrived at around noon and moved in to my dorm. As of current time, I still have things everywhere. Tomorrow, I am going with my parents to Ikea and Argos to get more storage drawers/boxes and a printer (so much cheaper than using the one at the university). My first impression of this city is that it is very friendly and beautiful. The architecture here is so detailed and victorian. My parents and I walked around and surprisingly it actually wasn't that cold. 






To end the night, we decided to go for some delicious roast and an apple and raspberry crumble. It was a great first day at Bristol!



Freshers start tomorrow, so we'll see what is there to come! Bye!

Medical School

Hello peeps!
In addition to all the beauty reviews, fashion trends and such, there will be a section about my experience at Bristol Medical School. The reason behind this was when I was researching which university I was going to choose and weather the medical school would fit me, it was very hard to find some experiences by the medical students. So here it is for you future medics. Follow me through my medical school journey!

I am an international student from Hong Kong going in blind to Bristol this coming fall. I haven't been to Bristol at all, so I am in for a surprise when I get there. I've gotten my Visa and am in the midst of all the packing (which means a lot of shopping for more wintery clothes!). I'll tell you more when I am about to go!
