Differences

Ways in which things are different -and weird- around here:

-Keyboards. This is how a sentence would look if I tzped it the waz I normallz tzpe. And I just found the forward slash.
-Toilets. Sometimes you have to pay, sometimes there is no toilet paper, and there is always something weird and different about the way they flush.
-Air conditioning. You are lucky if you can find it. However, there is always the option of heading into a basement where its much cooler.
-Body odor. Yeesh.
-Hair color. For some reason Sharon Osbourne-ish burgandy is prolific throughout this country.
-Hair styles. I found a salon with pictures of the latest fashions in hair for women... mullets. I should have taken a picture, dammit.
-Food. Almost every meal so far has consisted of meat and what we have been referring to as starch discs. The starch discs can be potato, dumplings, bread, or anything else thick and starchy and needing beer to wash it down.

More to come later. Its time to go figure out how to make a phone call.
