So I'm staying with my mate Diana in Columbia, she is my New York BFF. Like totally.
In dorms, they have codes to get into their flats/swipe cards. Pretty standard.
But there is a phenomenon called JEWISH ROOMS. This is where you need a key. A card key.
That is because Orthodox Jews are not allowed to use electronics on Sabbath. Because it counts as work. No computers, dishwashers, calculators. You get the drift.
So they can't get in their rooms with their swipe cards. They need card keys. Which means Diana has to walk to Hartley to get authorised.
Jewish rooms. I will say no more than those two words.
