Where Am I?

I am still my friends.
I just can't be here. I don't have unlimited internet as I am staying in the dorm.
I am still alone in the room, which is good because I don't share the bathroom. I am hoping that it will be like this until I go back home!
I hope you are all doing good.
By the way, I am just a building away from the college school fronting my home church. And yes, they have an open wifi access. I was able to connect because there are no students. The management suspended classes because of the 1 week transportation strike.

And close to my home church. Everyday the place, where I stay, is full of students in the college/university. My place is a commercial space with lots of food stalls

@LadyDuck it is a safe place since I moved here. There is a police car stationed in front of the arcade building and the officers are assigned to watch day and night.

I had been wondering how you were doing. I was happy to hear from you earlier today.
Oh, yes, I read about the transportation strike. I hope things get better there quickly.

The strike has been lifted Wednesday in the morning. Despite, there were still jeepneys on the road on Monday and Tuesday. But were few.

@sjvg1976 It's really hard for people who can't afford their own cars when jeepneys aren't allowed to run anymore.

It is only now that I was able to get connection from the school. Because there are no students.

@RubyHawk the connection is poor even without the students using it. It will be worst when they are here.

I hope so. So far, though it's tiring to commute to and fro. I have to endure all of it because life is difficult.

@jobelbojel I understand. Whenever there is a transport strike it causes lots of problems for people, especially the people who solely depend on public transport.

@sjvg1976 yup. This morning after work, I had to wait more than 20 minutes for the ride and then not a single one came. I went to another side of the road and detoured.

I am crossing my fingers that no one will occupy the vacant beds until I leave this dorm.

Your previous post says you'll be there 90 days so 3 months. I also hope you stay alone as long as possible. It's hard sharing rooms and sharing bathrooms. You have to check your belongings, too.

I know. The dorm does not have complimentary internet. I get it because it is one of the cheapest I booked since I am not going to stay longer.
