We have lived 3 days without water in the toilet. And we actually have to apply for a water card and electricity card, which is something like a pre-paid bill for usage. Can you imagine 3 days without water? Can't shower, can't go to the toilet, can't wash your things… it's basically a horror. But we finally manage to get it done today, Hooray! Well, we're having good complexion now, but that's no secret. Just use ice and rub it on your face every morning. It's what we do, the water in the public taps are freezing cold, worst than ice I believe. But what choice do we have, to be clean or to withstand the cold. It obvious which one we choose. From what we're told, we can only use the heater from 15 Nov onwards, which means it is cold nights for the both of us… As I promise, here are the pictures!

This is my side of the room, and this is Helen's side of the room! Oh, but this is not the main point! Let's take a look at what we're sleeping on! I should say that this is the best part… or the 2nd best actually.

See the thin layers? But that's not all; let's have a close up view shall we?

I believe I don't have to mention the "goodness" of it all. But from what we heard, these blankets were borrowed from somewhere else the next batch of students coming here might even have to bring their own blankets along, so there goes the burst for 20kg luggage weight limit.
Next, I will be showing you the proudest moments of our stay here… or at least the proudest till now. It's the photos from Day 1! As we got a brand new hostel, where no one has lived in before, there's quite a bit of cleaning that we have to do. So, I took the before and after photos of the toilet. Which we both think is a classic! Please note that none of these photos have been edited (other than re-size)

This is what it looks like when we first step into the room! I'm hoping we'll have the same reaction… Now, let's move on to 4 hours later, the same place, the same things…

Both of us feel very proud of ourselves at these results, it feels better than drinking cold soda on a very warm day. Well, I hope the tour of our room was enjoyable.
