Indoor Parking
There is one indoor parking space. It is perhaps too inconvenient to use
on a daily basis.
The driveway
to the garage is under the walkway to building entrance.
Use the remote control for the vehicular gate. The upper red button
in this picture opens the gate. It closes on
a timer. Drive forward and look for a space with an overhead chalk label
"10". Use the key in this picture to unlock the
door to the parking space.
If you are walking in, hold the thingamajig on the left side
of this picture near another
thingamajig on the gate, and pull open the door.
Parking
There are parking places just beyond the driveway to the underground
garage. There are also many parking spaces in the
shopping center just
before you reached the apartment.

House rules
Cleaning
Occupants are expected to clean up after themselves in common areas
such as kitchen and bathroom as well as bedrooms. In addition, a cleaning
lady comes every two weeks. You may need to meet her to let her in.
The vacuum cleaner is made by Trisa Electronica, Model Dynamico 1800. You
can find replacement bags at many stores such as Media Mart.
Trash
Trash is separated into
- Paper, cardboard, etc.: yellow container
- Aluminum and glass, etc.: blue container
- Plastic bottles, etc.: green container
- Everything else, i.e., non-recycables: black containers, or shaft
Non-recycables
To dispose of non-recycable trash, there is a small room right next to
the apartment. It is behind the door on your right hand side as you
step out of the apartment. The light switch is on the left as you
enter the room. In the far right corner is a metal contraption that
opens to a shaft behind the wall. Open the lid and push the pedal to
drop your trash bag.
Please read the instructions and do not shove in big objects like
cardboard boxes as that might clog the shaft and then the trash of the
entire building will pile up all the way to the roof.
Recycables
For recycables, there is a set of yellow, blue and green containers in
the basement, close to the metal backdoor. You need the building key
to get there from either inside or outside. There is also a glass
container on the left parking lot as you come out of the bulding, as
well as a complete set of recycling containers at the edge of the big
parking lot on the right, which you pass by when you leave towards
CERN.
Garbage collection appears to be on Friday mornings.
