Keep The Spirit Up!

Wow! Time goes by so fast! It's already near on the end of November which means this semester will end in one month. Still, I can't believe that I can still survive here in Eindhoven haha. Thks God! Ok, until now I haven't written about my experience here in Eindhoven. So, because I'm in lazy mode currently and I want to improve my English, I will write something right here, right now! If you notice grammar errors or something like that, please notify me :D So, I can learn from it.
1. Study
In the beginning I was thinking that there is no much difference between ITB and TU/e.Unfortunately I was completely wrong. After I entered the second month, the workload was completely insane. I cannot sleep well (only 4-5 hours a day), cannot try new experiment with cooking, cannot enjoy the weekend etc.
2. Friends
Surprisingly, there are 9 students from Indonesia this year and 6 of them live in the same place! The good side is I have many friends from the same country, the bad side is my English is not improving :-) After we know each other I feel that I found the subtitutes of my previous friends in Indonesia. I also make friends from another countries such as China, Turkey, India, Pakistan, and of course, Dutch! The students from China are very serious, I think I can see them everyday study in the library haha. They're just talking about academical stuff I think :D. But some of them like Dong Wei, Hai Bin, Simon Hui are funny and friendly. How about the girls haha ? Hmm, there are only few girls in the class that I attended namely two Dutch girls, Eva Ploum (very serious girl) and Ms. X, and only one Chinese girl (Sun).
3. Sports
In TU/e you can do any sports that you like. Of course, I choose badminton! Usually I played with Grant (another Indonesian student) and Jinxian Jian (chinese student). We usually play every Monday and Thursday. But to have a chance to play regularly, you have to pay a fee for 18 euro per year. There are many badminton courts here, about eight courts.And there is also a coach but I never trained under his supervision because I just want to having fun.
4. Weather
One word: unpredictable!
5. Recreation
If you type of a person that like to go to the shopping mall, forget it, Eindhoven is not for you. Actually there are shopping mall here but I think malls in my country are far more better than here. Instead of going to the mall we can go to the park for refreshing :D There are many parks and the parks are well maintained.
6. Language
I don't have time to learn Dutch language. So, everyday I talk in English with others. But don't think that my English is improved exponentially :D Since I talk with Indonesian everyday and it is very tempting to use Indonesian than English. Besides, if I talk in English with other International Students, their English are just the same with me.
7. Food
My menu here is very monotonic. Almost everyday I eat corned beef, eggs, and that's all :D I hate vegetables so I' seldom to eat broccoli, carrots etc. If my mother knows about this maybe she will get angry :D
