Greetings...

And so it begins. 6 months of intercultural exposure, my semester long course on Living in Europe 101, my long awaited international exchange programme... and yet another brutal introduction to one straaaange language. Please see above photo for example. Somehow or another, the dude who created danish didn't really bother to think much about how it would sound like to the rest of the world. Here, they add 'o's on top of their 'a's, like a little halo and then pronounce the damn thing differently. I stay on a street called Fuglesangs Alle in the city of Aarhus V... till now i still cannot pronounce either if the locations accurately.

Anyhow, bitching about the local language aside, let me welcome u 'o wise reader/friend who has stumbled/been coerced/attracted to this pristine blog. I promised my dear friends back in Singapore that i would try to keep in touch by writing on my adventures and escapades while on exchange so that they might remember their great friend Alvin Lee that little bit better while they slogged away at their corporate prisons. In return, they promised to prepare a lavish gift as a token of appreciation upon his return for making their lives in their corporate cells that much more bearable. MAKE SURE YOU ALL REMEMBER TO PREPARE MY LAVISH GIFT!

If you notice that I am slacking off my writing responsibilities, please then write in to complain. I welcome that. =) I will do my utmost best to ensure that you lot have something nice and new to read about every other day or so. Such promises of consistent effort from a sloth like me no doubt sound too good to be true but as part of my 2006 resolutions, I have vowed to make "consistent effort" & "Alvin Lee" become synonymous with each other.

So there, entry number 1. Now i can take a day off before entry number 2 is born... enjoy =)
