More of I.House

The International House is a huge residence with an array of facilities and amenities. I am trying not to behave like a tourist, carrying a camera just to show you around. But in the quiet hours of the afternoon, I decided to take a few snapshots.

The hallway from the elevator to the Main Hall does look like an art gallery:












The next set of pictures is the most impressive one. When I first walked in to I.House and saw the grandiosity of the Main Hall with high ceilings and chandeliers, I was glad I made this my choice residence.





















Sometimes, we all gather at the Main Hall for a very formal reception, where students from all over the world are handsomely dressed in suits and elegant dresses, and mingle with each other with some cheese in hand and a glass of wine.

The most recent formal event I attended was the Sunday Supper at the Davis Hall on 17 September 2006. It was a dinner, followed by a talk by the American Red Cross CEO, Theresa Bischoff. Some students, who were obviously professional musicians and singers, performed as well as part of the evening entertainment programme. It was a very nice experience indeed.
