Yoshida-ryo: The dirtiest Uni dorm ever!

[BananaDunka]

Boing Boing writes about one of Kyoto Uni's dorms that is almost 100 years old but still functioning. I found it interesting how the dorm was started up to be self running and residents chose who came on board.

Kind of shocking condition but I bet some of the Nintendo stuff in the games room is worth a bit now, they should eBay that lot and use the funds to do the place up!

Kyoto university has the last old-fashioned wooden dorm, a decrepit structure where Ethernet cable strung on the decrepit supports overhang robotics students working on the shattered floor.

The almost ironic thing is that it is one of the best universities in the country.

I like this comment

"Building robots in a decrepit Japanese building? Thats genuine cyberpunk"

They should keep the building as it is if its still reasonably safe. Sounds like it has a lot of history

edit - I bet our dorm was way dirtier. Our bin bags just decided to move out one day...maggots were in the bottom of them and were crawning the bags away. Had a family of moths in our kitchen and a im sure we had the first curry mould monster ever that stood at about 2" high
