In Greek mythology, Prometheus is the son of Iapetos and Klymene (Clymene). His name means Forethought. He was the god who, despite warning, stole fire from Zeus and gave it to the primitive mortals on earth. That, to me, is compassion. But for his crime, he was shackled to Mount Caucasus, where Zeus' eagle would rip his flesh and eat his liver every day. His wound healed quickly and so the torment would continue daily with the eagle returning for a feast. This image of sacrificial love continues to fuel the things I do, or at least, reminds me of the things I aspire towards - for the betterment of society and the good of mankind.

Inside International House

Some pictures of my dormitory:


This is the hallway from my room towards the common restroom. Atypical of most dormitories which are noisy with radios blasting and people getting drunk or having parties on their floors, mine is a very sedate one. Quiet, peaceful... and somewhat strange. Like a hotel.



My room is small. Taken at an angle near the door, the left is a loft bed, and the right a desk with shelves and another bookcase.

The view overlooks other rooms in I.House, but to the right, are some trees from the Sakura Park nearby.

As can be seen, the only "space" I have is really the walking space between the bed and the desk.

I am not complaining. The furniture, clean bedsheets, towels, and blankets, including a sink are all part of the package.
