I'm finally here. The suite isn't as nice as I thought it would be, but it serves its purpose. I will only be here for a month afterall.
My roommate for tonight is a German guy named Christian. He's here to learn English. I'm here to learn how to teach it. I guess we complement each other just fine.
I've found a cool gym and went to the Whole Foods on California St. Jicama here is only 99 cents per pound. That's not a bad deal.
There's an interesting mix of people here. Of course there are the hobos on every corner. My area of town is Thai. There are a lot of Thai restaurants and there's a vegetarian one next door. Perhaps I'll try it.
The party is upstairs. All the foreign students are drinking, making out, and listening to loud music. I met a couple people from Turkey and Taiwan. I think I'm the only native here.
Tomorrow I'll have time to learn how to properly use my Nikon. I'll take a photo of my suite.

Wow...why does St Giles recommend this place? Wouldn't you think there would be other students there? Where is everyone else staying?
Oh well, as you said, it's only four weeks, after which I'm sure you will enjoy a private room and full use of a kitchen!
