Parking wars

The parking wars continue...



(Be sure to read the fine print.) Kris' office is in the two year old Rising Star building, which doesn't have a parking lot. Unlike many universities, there are no parking permits at the University of the Ryukyus. This has caused some problems with parking, particularly when loading and unloading dive gear, samples, etc.

The engineering professors made their own committee to tell us not to park in the parking lot directly behind the building, even to drop things off and leave right away. We found the flyer above on the windshield of our car the other day. The hand written part threatens to lock our tires next time we park where we are not supposed to. Jamie is fighting for parking, but as of now, everywhere we park makes someone unhappy.




Above are Sung-yin and Martin in the Rising Star building. Hard at work as usual.



For those of you who are scared of using Skype...Anne demonstrates just how easy it is. This picture was taken during a live conversation between Asheville, NC and Okinawa! After the chat with Anne, we ate Nate's chocolate tofu cookies and maguro (tuna) sushi for dinner!
