  • nice place in ust
  • The latter part of this walkway is unofficially known as "Lover's Lane"...also a favorite place for those who practice group presentations, cheer dances, reporting etc. I know I've had my share of practice sessions here, though the electric socket space is quite hard to wrangle from other groups using them. Also becareful of insect bites ^^...especially now that it's rainy. I was able to see the devastation left by Milenyo here, some time ago...many of the trees were lucky not to have gone down during that typhoon... Haha, this is also where we did our Botany exercise (identifying the genus and species of a marked plant/tree) and our Ecology experiment (until the rain made us postpone it >.<)
  • Lovers & vandals are not allowed here anymore...
  • so sad, it used to be called lover's lane
  • used to go there with my ex =(
