Curiosities of a dorm

Hey Friends,

yesterday, we had this great meeting about rules and regulations at Sabinki, the dorm we are staying at. Most of it was pretty straighforward - do not set the building on fire and such stuff ... doh ...

But some of it deserves a closer look:

1. Toilet Paper: Sabinki does provide us with free toilet paper. One roll per person per month. So we suggested using it on both sides, so it'll last through the month ;-) Yummy!
2. TV: Sabinki seems to be very concerned that too much TV is bad for us. So no more than two hours per day! You actually do have to sign for this at the reception where you get the remote.
3. Heating: This place is a sauna. Literally! The temperature in the rooms is at comfortable 25 degrees celsius. Maybe a little more. Unfortunately, we can't regulate the heater. It can't even be done for the entire building. So the - not very ecological advice: Open the window!
4. Washing: There are more than 300 students at Sabinki. There are four washing machines, two tumble driers and two close horses. If we assume, that every student washes once every week... you do the math!
   
5. Smoking: It is not allowed to smoke at Sabinki. I find this is a very sensible and good rule. But it seems kind of hypocritical when you are standing in front of the door, because the receptionist does not immediately push the buzzer, because he/she needs both hands to light his/her cigarette...
6. No ALCOHOL! Well... at least nothing stronger than 4%. This rule probably breached even more often than the smoking rule ;-)
   

I admit, that some of these rules do sound silly but are justified... but we had a good laugh once in a while at the meeting.

And obviously: "Whatever any stripper tells you - there is no sex in the Champaign Room!" (Which song?)

Cheers,

Elias
