Chapter Fourty-Seven: Chugga chugga chugga, big red bus ♫ (~jinghan)

I got my new Uni Card today. And in Davis its totally free to ride the buses if you have your uni card! Wow! So I went on my first bus trip on the Unitrans (the red buses that take you around Davis)

And here is a picture of a yellow american school bus, because they actually exist outside of cartoons and the Magic School Bus:

So there was this really easy to follow time table booklet with maps, and all the lines have letters and colours so you don’t catch the wrong bus. And so I soon found myself where the new apartments that I will move into on thursday/friday will be:

(better photos later when I actually see my specific apartment)

And so I have to pay my rent deposit, but because it’s america everything has to be paid by check or money order. But luckily the lady who is in charge of the apartment place is really nice (and saved me from the receptionist who was about to confuse me by asking me about renters insurance and other things) and told me that I could buy a money order from save mart across the street.

(I suspect that having a supermarket across the street will become very very handy. Also I thought they’d charge me something ridiculous like $5 for a money order – which I found out is like a one-off check, but it only cost $1)

And in the office there were these little models of what the different apartments looked like. Here is what mine will look like:
