Had a delicious and unhealthy breakfast. Actually, staying in the hostel is a good bargain. For a twin room at 55 cdn, free breakfast not exceeding value of $5.25 and change of towels everyday. Pay extra 1 buck for internet service for each day. This is really good. That's why we are actually nuaing away. Staying in the hostel to log on to internet. However, breakfast ends at 9.30 and at first, we thought it was till 9. Hence, we woke up so early to have makan.

Guess what! We have to do mental calculation everyday. We only have 5.25 cdn dollars to spent for breakfast, hence must calculate. $0.40 for a piece of bacon/sausage/scrambled egg/boil egg. $1.25 for waffle/pancake/french toast and the list goes on.

The cafeteria is so cute. Clear your dishes in those metal compartments. So neat and tidy.

Finished breakfast and we decided to explore around school to find our exchange coordinator. This place has so many rabbits. Fat ones! Even the crows here are FAT! And they make a different sound compared to the Singapore crows.

The coordinator was not in, so we decided to explore the student union building and some stores. Beautiful flowers. The colour is so intense. Anyway, Uvic has a store selling their clothes, jackets, sweaters. Even nalgene bottle. So much marketing, hooked up with the schools. Oh! Don't ever complain about how expensive our books are. An organisation behaviour textbook costs 114 cdn dollars. And all other books are around the same price. So sickening. Super expensive.

The school even have a movie theater. No idea how it looks like. Maybe it is a small one. And used cars are selling at $4000. That's like so so so so so so cheap compared to Singapore. Ate instant noodles for lunch. So poor thing right.. haha.. $0.89. Cheap right. The sign board is super cute right. Idle free zone. Healthy people don't idle. They don't want people to wait at area infront of the school buildings or stores.

Went out in the night (actually left at 9, not really that late) to find the University Heights, a very small shopping mall outside of school. Walked like one hour+, though we got lost but the directories helped us.

Look at the cute graffiti. Keep seeing this monster on the other box. Lol.. Leaving his trademark. Yupz 11 pm.. What are we doing? Just walking around. Had a sub, beef, cheese, salad cream with pickles, bought from the esso mobil convenience store. ooh.. We saw a deer earlier in school but it was dark, couldn't take the photo.
