It’s 9:56 am on Saturday and I just got up after some amazing-10-hour sleep 😀
Since this is my first post, I felt like some introduction should be in place. So HEY lads and girls/boys and lassies 😀 My name is Henry and I’m a first year Biologist at Imperial College. After spending nearly my entire life in this lovely city of Qingdao on China’s eastern coastline, I’ve started a new journey here in London. The little red dot below is Qingdao. (ever heard of Tsingtao Beer? Yep! That’s from Qingdao!) Seafood and German wursts are something you don’t want to miss out in Qingdao. And I have to say that it is really close to Seoul and Tokyo, about 1 hr and 1.5 hr flights respectively.
And here’s something else about me: I don’t eat dogs and cats. I love travelling and swimming.

Since English is not my native language, please don’t hesitate to point out any grammar mistake I made. (and no judgments! 😛 😛 :P) Chinese (Mandarin) is my first language and I’m still struggling to learn something new everyday from Chinese (Cantonese) which has been proved to be difficult! Also I’m learning German, provided by Horizons courses at Imperial. (Yes, I like languages :D)
Basically what I’m going to blog here is what I felt/saw/experienced/heard/tasted/smelled and … at Imperial. What you will see here is purely useful and unbiased information, that’s written by a man who’s truly new to this country and ready to adventure. Hopefully my blogs would bring something fresh to your minds and add some spicy stuff to your sad life xD. And more importantly to those who plan to study in London with particular attention on International students, I want to share my first-hand experience with you about what study feels like at Imperial and what life feels like in London.
Leave your questions in the comment box and I’ll try to answer them all in the next blog!
That’s pretty much it. Stay tuned for more blogs. and see y’alllll soooooon! 😀
