Although, you can always tell who are the mainland people since they ride their 35 year-old-right-from-China bike everywhere. Anyhow, I live with my roommate whose (a.k.a Zee) on the Waterloo campus as well as and my girlfriend Vinx and her friend Xena who live in the building across mine. Across the hall, live two Russians who find it essential to play their electric guitar attached to an amp with their door open at 2:00 am in the morning. The showers and washrooms are pretty bad -- shared with 23 other guys excluding Zee and myself but they are cleaned every day by our housemother Helena -- whatever that`s supposed to mean. The University as a whole isn`t too bad, except on rainy days where the humidity causes the smell of cow a |
