Recuperating and Settling In

Cup o' Joe coffee shop
(where I'm posting from right now)

My senses are coming back to life. The yummy tangerine blossom smell that so impressed me upon my arrival to Li Ren Gardens--the apartment/school complex neighborhood--last week has returned to my now-sensing nostrils. (At least I think it smells like tangerine blossoms. I have not yet been advised otherwise as to what the pleasant aroma could be attributed to. And I don't think I'm allergic to them. Yet.)

I am up and about and walking or biking the 5-15 minute walks in between my apartment and/or school or Cup o Joe coffee shop, to access the Internet. Also, daily, I have walked or biked to make a shopping trip with new friends. I've been purchasing items for settling into the apartment. Today I made a trip all by myself to a nearby store, and even caught my first tuk-tuk taxi ride back to the apartment! Here's a link to the video I took, if you're interested in what the rides are like, and I've embedded the video below as well.

Photos of the apartment and friends and everything else will be forthcoming.
