Second glance
The thing that surprises me is that nothing actually surprises me... Everything seems to be so in place, where it needs to be... People are looking differently, but it's like it has always been like that... I just feel that I have been living here all my life:) Well yeah, I'm still not very free to do what I want or to go where I want as I don't know the options, but it all just feels right:)
Still some things that I've found interesting:
- MILK - they import it from France and don't have local milk, so it's quite expensive. Therefore everybody buys milk powder. I also use it in my tea:)
- SHOPPING - people don't go to a super market and buy a bunch of all things. Like the full pack of tea or all loaf of bread. Instead you go to one of the many "kiosk" ladies and buy ONE tea bag and like one quarter of bread:)
- FOOD - it's quite normal, yet spicy:) Most popular are rice, spagheti and local "potatoes" yams. They usually eat it with some stew or meat or chicken or fish. It all looks ok and tastes ok as well:) though as I've said it's quite spicy, but it's something I'll have to get used to:)
- ADDRESS - there is no addressing system, so most often what people write is PO BOX number:) and when you take a taxi you don't say "take me to Vilnius street 5", you say the biggest building near the place where you want to go and then guide the person where he needs to turn:) fun;)
Yesterday we went to the beach. I've made some nice pictures from there, but the uploading procedure is too complicated... The picture is not the way I see it on my computer... Anyway, it's paradise kind of beautiful:) The water is not very warm, there are big waves... It's nice:)
Tomorrow my future boss comes back from Norway and the transition will start... which means that work starts... holiday is over:) I guess I'm ready though:)

Sveika
tikiuos, kad galiu savo komentarus rasyti ir lietuviskai.
tik neseniai suvokiau, kad tu jau afrikoj. matau, kad esi labai laiminga ir jautiesi "savo lekstej".
jei tu laiminga, as esu irgi laiminga :)
Dalia, kadangi pirma karta tavo bloga ziurejau ne savo kompiuteryje, tai ir nebezinojau jo adreso. Bet visagalis google leido man ji rasti! :) Pazadu nuo siol karts nuo karto paskaitineti ;)
