Settling down well in College Station

We are settling down well in College Station. The weather here is hot, and a little humid, but not too bad. However, i think i can survive here, but i still need a while to get used to it. That's fine. :-) We are kind of lucky. Since we came here we have met a few nice people. They helped us a lot. That's so great.

The traffic here is heavier than it is in Grand Forks. The Campus of Texas A&M is much bigger than UND's. Although it is bigger, we need to walk or ride a bike on Campus because it's not very convenient to drive a car on Campus. The road is complicated and also it is not very easy to find a parking lot. The permit of parking on Campus is very expensive. The parking lot for students is far away from the study building.

We are living off campus, but our apartment is convenient for the shops and the campus. The bus stop is downstairs, and the shops are a walk distances from our apartment . And also we can take a shuttle bus to go to the food store which is named HEB. HEB has a variety of fresh vegetables and Asian food. Target and Wal-mart is not very far from there either. Near Wal-mart, there is a Asian store. That store has lots of Chinese food. It was surprised me that it has frog legs and quails. Although i don't know how to cook them, i quite like to enjoy them. He he ……:-P

Xia, I want to try and come to visit you guys, maybe next spring or summer. I'll combine it with a trip home to see my family and maybe I can come down to College Station and visit. We can drive over to Galveston and go to the ocean! :-)
