Hello hello and welcome welcome to Hong Kong Baptist University!
Situated in the bustling and exciting Kowloon Tong (which also happens to be rich people's land), it first opened its doors to knowledge-thirsty students in 1956. Now it is an established institution in Hong Kong, encompassing of a wide variety of disciplines and of course boasts of the most famous communications programme in Hong Kong!
Now as I'm about to end my exchange here, let me bring you to my humble corner of the city. It is where I called home for the past 4 months: the Hong Kong Baptist University Residence Hall!
This is the road, or should I say deadly roundabout, that leads to our university residences. It is treacherous to navigate but necessary to overcome in order to get to the other side. Not to mention the onslaught of crazy drivers and possible-drifters mini bus drivers.

he very first sight that greets you upon walking through the gates/barricades 
The walkway right outside the lift lobby. I live directly above this walkway and it irritates me loads whenever people gather in the wee hours of the morning and make a din.
South Tower lift lobby, where I reside inThe North and South towers are basically linked by the common area in 1/F. HK flooring system works slightly different. They start counting from Ground level (G/F), followed by the numbered levels. So in essence, both towers are connected by the second level.
I usually climb the stairs since I stay on 2/F.
The corridor which leads to my doorMy room is actually the 2nd door on the left and so is really near the lift and pantry/lounge.
Welcome to room 210. As you can see, my roommate and I attempt to personalise our doors.
Joy is in Room S210!
So walk right in to see...... a mess! HAHA! My side is on the right, as per tradition since my ntu hall days. (Can you see gui gui?)
Just my side of the roomBefore I fail to remember, we have a mini- bar fridge in every room, as well as a common refrigerator in every level's pantry. NTU should provide such awesome facilities.
My organised messNo, you're not allowed to comment on HOW messy it actually is.
This is my attached bathroom. It's similar to Hall 1 & 2 where 2 rooms share one bathroom. The difference is that we do not actually have to clean it ourselves. Cleaning aunties come in once a week to clean it for us. Cool right?
And so we end our little tour of my tiny humble abode. It's currently in lesser mess after I had cleared my notes and other non-essentials as well as pack some stuff into my not-so-huge suitcase.
All in all, the room has been a safe haven and a source of private space for me. Can't say I thoroughly enjoyed staying in HKBU hall, but can't say that I'll fare better without it too.
Sounds fair right?
