Settling in has been a bit stressful. Everything is a little more expensive here than I am used to. I could make a blog post centered around all of the differences I've noticed so far, but I think that might take too long. I've decided it's always a good idea to have an empty water bottle with you when you travel. That way you can pretty much always get water and you don't have to tilt your head and drink it straight from the kitchen faucet. Doing this reminded me of this little tweety bird thing that turned your sink into a faucet. Like one of these:
Only it was Tweety instead of red rubber.
Sometimes this place is a little frustrating. The residents here are a lot more laid back. I kind of like it, and think it's an attitude Americans could learn to adopt, but it's not as efficient. Shops around here close at 5 or 6, and it reminds me of Clay Terrace since everything is about the same price and it's all outdoors. I just want to go to a mall that's open until 9 and buy jeans and tennis shoes for a cheap price. Clothes are expensive at home too though.
I have a lot of photos to share but I think I'll just post them to facebook. This isn't a very good first post, but that's mostly because I just have so much to say and can't think of how to organize all of it. In good time, in good time.
