- Had a 1.5 hour mani-pedi last night. Scrub, massage, hot wax therapy and fire-engine red toes. I'm ready for some sandals and for some summer-ing. Pamperment (is that even a word?) is so affordable here!
- Helados delivery requires a minimum half kilo order. Do you know what a half kilo of ice cream looks like?! That is A LOT of ice cream. Maybe we'll schedule to have it for DINNER sometime this week.
- The subte (subway) system here is pretty efficient – except for the fact that you can't switch tracks underground. If you make a mistake routing yourself, you need to go street-level and enter from the other side! What a major engineering mistake!
- Spanish learning is coming along. My comprehension has improved exponentially in the last 20 days. But my speaking rate is slow, slow, slow. It takes time to conjugate things in my head and once it's all there, the moment has passed, the conversation gone. BLEH!
- I am killing myself trying to get through the Twilight books. WHY WHY WHY did I decide to read them in the first place?! The second book was a waste of my life. The 3rd is better, but so corny. And I don't think I will manage to make it through to the 4th book.
- My Canadian passport is ready! It took ONE WEEK to sort, here on the other side of the world! ONE WEEK! If you can remember my ridiculous rant about the Canadian Passport system, you will know how happy this makes me. =D
- Bs.As. is a sauna now. HOT, STICKY and HUMID. And it's not even December yet. It will be good practice for the Philippines. =)
