First Information Letter August 7, 2007

So today mum went to get the mail and came back with a packet for me from ASSE!
I opened it excitedly and found enclosed the infamous information letters. Well, the first of 10 information letters that will be sent to me over the course of the next 7 months.
Basically the letters are supposed to help prepare you for exchange and they cover such topics as food, language, school, culture shock, religion, money, packing, luggage, insurance, etc.

I wonder if they’ll actually do much for me

(I also got my license in the mail! Yay me!)
