After about a month living in the university’s hotel, I was
moved to a house on campus. It is a very nice abode. On-campus housing is not
at all uncommon for senior faculty and staff. My own home is only a brief walk
to the Canteen, where I eat all my meals for $US2.50 per day. A further few
minutes walking takes me to my office and the various lecture halls.
Faculty housing is located right near student housing and
also near the gym and sports fields. Given the amount of energy students have,
you can imagine the 24/7 activity that abounds when school is in session. There
are 6,000 students. About half live on campus.
Here are pictures of my home’s outside and living room. I do
not use cable TV because the two channels I want are only available in the most
costly package, $US77/month. What I do is go over to the hotel bar to socialize, watch
soccer, and listen to music. Enjoying science fiction, I download novels from
Smashwords to my Nook.
