Graduation - yet again

Today I wandered down to get lunch at the vegetarian stall. I think that it is staffed by a group of Buddist students. I have discovered that it is quite good and cheap. It is the "good" part that brought me there - for two days in a row I have had various their spicy, noodle conconctions.

For anyone who has endured graduation recently the parking pictures only partially capture familiar scences- the horrendous traffic and non-existent parking. The line of cars you see between the two rows of parked cars are also parked! In front of the auditorium there was the usual groupings of parents, relatives, graduates (of all ages) and cameras. I snapped a photo, which doesn't do justice to the hubbub.

The picture of the two barracks like buildings are "tandas" or toilets (obviously one for men and the other for women). (I assume that they go back to when this was a British fort - I need to remember to read up on the campus history.) Most rest rooms are less huge. Any way rest assured if you are ever on USM's campus and nature calls you won't be far from an appropriiate facility.

In a few minutes I am going to the MPA graduation. Expect my last graduation post tomorrow.
