Photos and houses

Ok so here are a few snaps I took today while on campus. It was 32 oC and its not even may.....

The Duke crest.



Duke Chapel, you can't miss it really.



a random road


I just like it, I don't know why. The weather ain't bad here either.

Im moving out of the hotel I am in tomorrow. The place i'm moving into costs $300 a month, which is about 150 sheets in real money. I have been getting mixed reviews of places to live in Durham. I think some of it is people just not being used to big cities. I went to look at this place and it looked nice but people were saying the area is a bit sketchy. The people at ihouse said it is nice so i'm going for it. The main factor in my choosing it is the guy I will be sharing with seems like a nice guy, it's furnished and it's near all the cool stuff. I'm only gonna be there till August if I don't like it.

The strange thing about finding a place to live here is that the difference between good and bad areas can depend on what side of the road your walking on. I'm going to be living in Trinity park and they range from $1 Million to $100 K. It's just crazy. It's sort of like having a small bit of parsons cross in millhouses.

Also found this local live 3D which is a bit like google earth but it has a special high res 3D crazy bit and shows sunny Sheffield in all it's glory.
