Foreword.
The city of the World. The only one so cosmopolitan that changing cultures of the world reflects upon it immediately.

It was only a week ago that I embraced the thought of studying in such a city. The glamour, the people, the intellectuals. Here a week later, I am thrown into the rough life of a scholar studying outside of his country. The freezing cold, the undecipherable accent, the endless work.

You would think that we would meet different people here from all sort of places that would impact your life.

But sometimes, instead, its the ones that came and stayed with you.
