More on NTU

I'm now into the 3rd or 4th week of classes. Things are starting to get a little bit more demanding. Some friends requested more pictures of the university, so I have posted some more below.

About the past week. Not too much excitement. I have shin splints in one leg - I visited the NTU doctor about it and he said that my feet are flat and that I was running too much. I'm working on finding alternative things to stay active. I played squash and visited Little India. A buddy and I are going to the wakeboard cable park tomorrow, and we hope to go to Bali or some other surfing destination next week, DV.

Below is the Nanyang Lecture Theatre Lobby. This place is colossal! See the elevators taking you to the various vomitoria (funny word - google it).

How big do you think that screen and stage is down there. See the next picture to get some visual context.
As I said, this lecture theater is huge. See the exit doors? Compare with screen and stage.
These are about half the seats. It seats 1736 people!
Self-explanatory.
The students live in buildings such as the ones shown in the following two photos.

This is the end of the North Spine. The North Spine is one of the two major "Spines" of concrete buildings.
Looking up the North Spine. I feel strangely as if I'm trapped in a Halo 2 game as I stroll to and from classes. Dad said something quite similar, "I feel like I'm in a computer game."
The end.
