So I have found myself an apartment yesterday. It’s really a 2 storey terrace house. And it is a dump. The place looks sooo ghetto but I took it because I’m tired of looking and the number of available places near school is decreasing at a very fast rate. That’s what you get when you want to live right IN the city but do not want to spend a lot of mula. This house is a 7 minute walk from school which is a whole lot better than my hour and a half commute to UBC from Surrey. The rent is relatively cheap and it covers all the utilities (gas, electricity etc), broadband internet, and my fully furnished room. My room even has a little t.v. in it. So far I’ve been told that I have two roommates: a petite girl (shorter than me apparently) from China, and a tall guy from Jordan. Sounds like international house to me. The landlord told me that my room used to belong to another Canadian. Oh! Oh my goodness, you will never believe this. Ready? My landlord’s name is…wait for it…Mr. Zenith Wong. I am not kidding you. My whole life I’ve been waiting to meet another Zenith and it has finally happened. It. was. weird. I asked him if I could call him Mr. Wong so as to not confuse each other and the other tenants. After laughing about it for a good minute, we both agreed that I should refrain from calling him by his first name.
I’ve gotten into the habit of including photos in all of my posts, so here you are. This is a photo of a poster I found on the window of a travel agency at my university.
Would love to hear your responses regarding this über interesting advertisement.
