Vendredi

Another friday today. A friend from Rice, Balu, has come over to EPFL for a month. Met him today evening. Then we went for a stroll to Ouchy, which is close to where I live. They were having a live band. Ate Italian Pizza over there. Then went to Flon. Basically, acted as local guide to Balu, me the veteran for 3 weeks.
My new house has wireless and cable modem. Though, pretty crapy speed and variable latency. Anyway, I think the wireless router is going off soon as the guy - Nadim is moving back to Montreal after spending a semester at EPFL. So, will have to sit in the drawing room to connect to net. Very funny housing. Much of it is glass windows, top to bottom. So, people have devised ingenous ways to cover them up - a few of them only though. The flat opposite to me has in big letters on the window written - :) is you want a kiss. Other 2 roomates are - Cristian from Peru, and Peter from Germany.
