And continuing with the theme of toilets, I spent the night on my knees worshipping mine. It was only a matter of time before the raw fish, beef, and even an egg the other night was going to catch up with my Western stomach.

I'm still going to work today though. I'm not teaching but going to the office for a meeting and then going out with my boss to get my alien card, set up a bank account, and buy a cellphone. I've waited too long for these things to stay home now.
