A place to stay, and bats

I have found a place to stay at Dundee (thank God, finally). I will be staying at the hospital residency. It will be 4 people in a unit, sharing a kitchen, living area and bathroom. More or less like the way it is at Ormond McCaughey - 4 people in a corner...

The best part of it is the rate. They charge us only GBP6.5 per night (I can't find the poundsterling sign on my keyboard...) The rate might increase this year to GBP7.5, but even then it will still be waaayy cheaper than Ormond (with the current exchange rate, that converts to around AU$15). Ormond charge you AU$65 a night when you stay outside the academic dates. Surely food wouldn't cost me $50 a day, right? So I'm happy.

Below is a picture I took at Sydney botanical garden (or somewhere in Sydney). If you look closely, you can see things dangling off the branches. Those are bats. They are sleeping. Because it was day time. Obviously.

Speaking of bats I remember having a science teacher in year 9 who was quite memorable. She wore purple sneakers to class, and wore bat-shaped earings. She got really edgy when anyone makes the slightest noise. A pen clicking would make her go "Sshh, quiet please!!" As if the pen could help itself. As if the pen would understand. As it was, no one listened, and we went off making as much noise as we liked anyway.
