Just to let everyone know, I will try and report situations as unbiased as possible, but with the whole different culture and everything it should prove interesting.

My life right now isn't too exciting - the pace of living is so much slower than living in Vail was, but its nice to get some relaxation time in before heading out to the tropics. Packing has not started yet, and probably will not until at least 5 days before I leave - I need to leave some time to procrastinate.
