In res...
Well I made it to res and met one of my new "flatmates" Mikkita, she's from Zimbabwe and is really nice, she even bought us dinner (pizza from Pizza Hut). Tomorrow she's going to show me how to get to Garden City where I will be buying all my groceries 'n stuff, it's about a 5 minute bus ride from here.My residence is called Kinaba and it's located on top of a hill across the street from campus. My room is pretty plain looking, in fact, it looks a bit more like a cell block from the outside than a residence, probably due to the cement block style architecture the "fancy" metal bars that are on the windows. I haven't seen them anywhere else but here, everywhere else looks normal even across the road where campus is.
Asides from that, campus is in the middle of a bush, there are lots of walkways to go around to and lots of greenery everywhere. It sounds quite different here too because of all the birds, there's this one bird that sounds exactly like a person whistling.

They have pizza down there?
Glad to hear you got there safe and sound!! A bird that sounds like a person whistling? That would be interesting to hear.
Hi Val :)
Sad I didnt the chance to say goodbye before you left. Hope all is well.
Sounds fabulous well excpt for the bars on the windows. You will make your little cell block home.
Hey Val! Glad to hear you made it, safe and sound!
Sounds wonderful, Val. What a relief that must've been to get a place in residence. Just came back from a cottage where we woke to the sound of birds too - cackling crows - not nearly as nice as your whistlers.
Looking forward to visiting Australia vicariously through your adventures.
To Craig: Yes they have pizza down here silly!
To Kerri #1: Yea, there's a lot of weird sounds around here, the birds usually start chirping around 6am.
To Laura: Yea, I was kinda running around a lot when I got back to Barrie so I didn't really have a chance to call anyone.
To Denise: Thanks, I'll try.
To Robin: Thanks Robin.
To Sue: Well it's definitely a place to live, but I'm not so sure about how well I like it here, I'm most likely going to move out at the end of the semester.
