Yesterday I had my first lectures, quite a busy day. First I had to get up early in order to register for my classes and then me and Max took the bus to Pine Mall, the biggest indoor mall in PG, there I got a Canadian sim-card and some running shoes. We also tried out tacobell for dinner, not really a memorable experience. The biggest surprise was that we took a stop by the tobacconist and they actually sell some kind of snus i Canada, it is however really expensive almost 16 bucks more or less the same price as in Norway. I guess I just have to give up snus eventually if we are not able to get fresh supplies from overseas.
My first lecture was in Financial Management II and it was from 6 pm to 9 pm! The biggest difference here compared to Norway is that the classes are really small. I guess that we were approx. 20 people in the class. It was nice to see some familiar faces in class, some Canadians that we ran into at the student pub earlier that day inbetween classes. The way to go with studies here is to be prepared for class as they are not lectures per se, more discussions where the lecturer guides us through the material. Part of the marks are also based on participation in class!
We were invited to some Canadians for a BBQ after the lectures, so we had to run to the residence, drop off the bags and take the bus downtown. The party started a lot earlier in the evening, so it was dying when we got there. It seemed kind of strange, but when we entered the parking lot they had parked a car there and everyone had to kick the car parked there. Afterwards the extremesports started, listening to country music for 3-4 hours straight. But all in all we met and got to know a lot of friendly people :)
