Dorm

I live in Kobe University International Residence.  It houses researchers with families, single researchers, and exchange students like me.  Everyone is allowed to live here for one year, but then must find other accommodations.  It's not too bad a place to live.  Besides the rent being rediculously cheap, I've had a great time meeting people from numerous countries.

From right: Jon, Nicky, Bonnie, Florian(top), Alfredo(bottom), Emma, Brett, and I.  Everyone threw me a little surprise birthday party in the dorm.

Christmas dinner in the dorm.  A very international Christmas....

The view from the dorm.  The mainland is straight ahead.

The next two photos are shots of my room (right after I arrived).
