Hello, all! I'm still waiting for classes to start, but yesterday Alexis and I had a pretty good time walking around campus on Enrollment Day collecting free stuff. There was a hotdog cookout (or "sausage sizzle"), and plenty of free cookies! When Alexis asked one person at a table for any free stuff, he gave us four cans of pop and the rest of his Muesli (granola) bars. We also received two tote bags, which were very helpful for carrying our loot home.
On our way back to our apartments, we were about to cross the road when a car did a U-turn, rubbed up against the curb and popped off both hubcaps! He then sped off in the opposite direction. We crossed, removing the hubcaps from traffic and putting them on the side of the road, and wondered at the strange and unfamiliar driving habits on this side of the world!
A word on the local wildlife: the Ilam apartments are home to a flock of very vocal pigeons. These pigeons have a habit of landing under our windows and producing the strangest cooing I have experienced. Sometimes they wheeze. Sometimes they growl. Occasionally they sound like normal pigeons.
So those are my adventures so far. Excited for class to start Monday!
