the facades of umich

because pictures paint thousands of words, i'll let them do the talking here.

betsy barbor house: an all-girl dormitory. and my temporary housing for the first night. and you're asking me if i'm having fun?

the chapel beside barbor house. beautiful. a wedding was carried out here a few days back.

i've no idea what this building is. but it looks really good.

the big black spinning cube. it really does spin, i swear!

DJ and darren in front of the dunno-what building. i've been here for quite a bit already, but i'm still not familiar with the names of places. the brickwork on the walls of this building is pretty intricate. save the picture to your computer and zoom in to observe.

the gardening is nothing short of amazing.

no mama shops? no sweat. plenty of newspapers for you, as long as you have coins to spare.

there're plenty of this little furballs around. singapore has stray cats, ann arbor has squirrels. they're awfully cute, have super flexible tails that swish around and can cross the roads with ease. i've yet to see roadkill.

the carparks are massive; land isn't a scarcity over here. i've only seen one or two multi-storey carparks.

i'll leave you with an image of the center piece of campus: the clock tower. and yes, at 8pm, the sun is still up.
