Getting there is half the fun

Where I Live(d)

Today I had to go in to work and meet my boss as he flew in from Japan so there is not much going on today. I tried going for a run but almost died in the 41 degree apparent heat! So I just walked around taking some pictures of where I currently live, just in case all 4 of you people reading this page are interesting in seeing it! I am living in the massive Prince George Park Residences here, which has about 3000 rooms in towers all over the place. It is actually quite nice but sure isolates the students. Every cluster of 15 rooms is doubly locked behind steel doors so you can't even go and visit your friends randomly if you want to. Let me take you on a quick tour of the place...

This is part of the front of the complex. It's just too big and curvy to fit the whole thing in. A few towers are still behind me and even more are to the right. Then there are a ton in behind, anyways....


These are the main steps leading down from the bus stop. Everyone walks up and down these everyday.


After the steps you can either head left or right. This is to the right, and just basically leads to more dorms. The main food court/caf where we eat everyday is behind the plants on the right.


Continuing this exciting tour, you can also take a left and go to the store! My room is at the very bottom left of the picture. I am on the inside of the building with my window facing a lovely courtyard that amplifies absolutely every minute sound.


On the other side of the towers in the last pic is the other food court and a lovely pond filled with giant goldfish.


Behind the residence there are basketball courts and an exercise area. And behind that there is a forest/jungle no one dares to enter!


Now for what you have all been waiting for, my room itself! Sorry but I didn't bother to clean it up for the pic, sweaty clothes are hanging everywhere because of my run (and yes those are my boxers hanging over the courtyard!)


If you are still with me and are possibly wondering why I titled this post with a live(d) well you'll have to wait. I am basically getting kicked out of here in only one week because of some administrative error that they "appologized" for. I'll write more on that later once I get things sorted out, hopefully soon!
