thought this might be interesting to friends back home
i took this house quite close to school, in the apartment complex thats perhaps closest to school. i bot a second hand bicycle, so i cycle to school..taxis are NOT affordable to us, its strange, the pricing of things around here, a text book cost 70-150 dollars, and a tshirt just 5 dollars…a lunch costs as much as a tshirt, i even saw a cd advertisement saying its “cheaper than food”. its true too!! these people are crazy, if you buy a small bottle of water, you will be paying 4 times more than what you would have to to get petrol. a taxi for a 10 minute ride will be about 7 dollars. taxis arent very common, you have to phone them and they come and pick you up. we do have a bus service, but the services are half to one hour apart…
foreigners, well, see we dont have a class, as such, everyone is free to choose the subjects he wants to study, so there’s not a single person i know who has my three subject combo…in the masters and phd program in electrical and computer engineering, 82 new students have been admitted, out of which 44 are indians, americans must be about 3 or 4, then we have turks, and chinks. chinks are cheaters, they cheat a lot, and are very isolationist, so are indians, i mean they cheat too. i dont, going by OUR past experiences ![]()
chinks are a confused lot, you never know whether they know something or not, their english is generally fucked up, so they cant get across…one chinky babe who handles the same lab as me was so scared that she asked to take her lab, surreptitously , and said she would pay me for it!! i bucked her up saying “you can do it, come on” and things like that, but , honestly , i was shocked when she said that!
