I couldn’t finish the article about Shortlisting Universities for Graduate School admission. I’m still doing some research to get give you guys all possible information. I should be done by tomorrow. In mean time enjoy the guest post.
Hi guys.. I’m Vidhya from Chennai who is heading to UC Davis this fall for my Masters in Computer Science.. I’m taking the Cathay Pacific and flying via Singapore and Honk Kong in the 1st week of September.. I’m allowed to carry 32 * 2 kgs and a carry on baggage of 7kgs. The ticket fare came to around Rs. 30,000 for a one way journey.. I’ll be staying in an apartment about a mile away from the campus with 3 other Indian girls. We’ve leased a 3bedroom/2bath apartment for a year paying a security deposit of $300 and the monthly rental is $1610.
Few pairs of jeans, t-shirts, some traditional clothes, sandals, a pressure pan and few utensils, Indian spices and masala powders, some sweets and snacks and not to forget my mom’s recipe book are the things I’m carrying along. While I was shopping, I found that both soft luggage and hard luggage weigh the same. The soft luggage is at the most a kg lighter than the hard one. I’m under the impression that a hard one will have a longer life, so I got one from VIP which cost Rs.3000 and the other from Samsonite. Each suitcase weighs 5kgs. Well, so this is how I’ve been getting ready.
