Live from Yo-Kylä

I have my UTU user name and password, so now I can use the wireless here in the student village. It's very nice to feel connected to the world again. Technology is so big here that one feels completely out-of-touch with the world without the internet or a cell phone. People use cell phones here to do everything too. You can even buy a bus ticket with your cell phone.

Well, I have lots to put on here, but I'll start with my room, which is pretty fabulous for a dorm.

Here you can see my fabulous closet (which is pretty empty, poor me) and mini-fridge (can you see the bottle of Tapatio on it?).



This is before I got my starter package from the school, so I have curtains and a blanket now too. Fun fact: my window overlooks a cemetery, which is kind of pretty, but kind of creepy at the same time. Especially at night because they have candles next to the graves that someone lights every night.



And this is the bathroom. I can't believe that I get my own room and bathroom, for less than it would cost to live in the dorms at HSU! As you might be able to see, the toilet, shower, and sink are all in the same room. There is also a curtain that comes down, and a drying rack for clothes. It's a pretty nice, if compact, set up. So far, sharing a kitchen with 11 other people has been a lot of fun, and a good way to meet people.
