HOW TO SURVIVE ROCHESTER, MN.

在Kahler Grand的Student Lounge的布告欄上貼著前人整理的經驗


SUPERMARKET
For buying food, the nearest supermarket is "Hy-Vee" (open non-stop 7x24 h). About 15 minutes walk. You can buy food and general stuff for cooking, washing clothes etc.
HOW TO GET THERE
Go to Saint Mary's Hospital, before Saint Mary is an gas station -> Turn right = Down the hill and go until you reach the big road, the Hy-Vee is close to the crossroad.
WASHING CLOTHES: 
Buy the bleach (soap for washing clothes) in Hy-Vee and go to ROM 337 here in Kahler. There are washers and dryers in this room. You need 4 x quarters for the machine.

PUBS
The nearest pub is "Chesters" on the university square, which is behind Kahler (100 m).
There is also "City Cafe"... It is 3 minutes walk. Ask others in Kahler to go for beer and show you the night life :-) - Have your id ready.

KAHLER KITCHEN
You can use all the cooking stuff (if not marked personal). But then wash it.

SHOPPING
For buying clothes or other stuff you can go to TJ MAX, APACHE MALL, WALMART etc.

BUS
You can use the buslines to get to shopping centers. Ask for the schedule of bus lines in Kahler; there are no buses on Sunday.

GO TO MINNEAPOLIS
You can go to Minneapolis with 'Go Rochester" located in Kahler lobby. It goes every hour and round trip is ~55 USD.
