Magical things...

Wow! This laundry service is *amazing*!!! You leave your issued bedsheets in a white drawstring bag and hang it on your door on the morning designated day for your halls, and when you come back you get the bag of ridiculously white, pressed, folded and sealed in a plastic bag….MAGIC.

Anyway it comes in handy, because I’ve invested in another pillow…found one for the equivalent of £2.50 and completely made of feathers…although I can’t tell what type because I haven’t learnt the Japanese for duck, chicken, pigeon or dodo yet…but there is still time…

Oh. And I forgot something else about the halls…last Sunday, from my window I saw an open back van which at one point looked as though it had been selling veg in the square…but by the time I got down all I saw were people packing away empty boxes. Anyway, this Sunday I was actually out of my room in time to find out what was going on and it turns out that a fresh fruit and veg van drops by on a Saturday morning (before 11am…which I’m led to believe is morning here) and opens up shop…price wise it’s pretty cheap, it looks good and most of all fresh…that and the added convenience of not having to lug stuff back on the train…it’s such a good plan! They also sold some fish…all packaged and chopped…so I thought I’d try some…cooked some tonight (Monday) and it was awesome! It was actually fresh! And succulent. Am definitely going to be trying out more stuff next Sunday. Very cool.
