Yep - guess what, we're back in the crazy land and are having to "re-de-sensitize" ourselves as Bill is calling it. On the same morning after witnessing the peeing man it took me 20 minutes to order 1 small decaf coffee at Starbucks!!! Seriously!?!?! All I wanted was a decaf coffee - no caffeine, small coffee. The cashier had no clue what I was saying, eventually I ended up with a small coffee which I'm 99% sure had caffeine, but I got a coffee none the less! Just another reminder of how much the language barrier can affect simple daily tasks.
We also went to the DVD shop to pick up some entertainment for the weekend, you see we've been gone for a month so we've been missing a lot of good movies that came out while we were in the US and we're way to cheap to actually go to the theater to see a movie so we bought 10 on Saturday for a grand total of $16USD! That's approximately 20 hours of viewing entertainment… it's now Sunday evening and we've watched 4 so far! I bet we'll have 6 down before we hit Monday morning.
I'm debating which TV series I should start watching next...
Also, it's a good thing we stocked up on these movies because Bill says the smog is so bad our satellite TV doesn't have any reception. I'm not sure if it's truly the smog that is causing the TV not to work or if it's just the government deciding we've had enough of this illegal TV for the moment. Either way - we haven't had TV since Friday evening and the smog has been in the 300's (on the scale of 0 to 500).
Again - WELCOME BACK! Hopefully this next week will be much better than our last and we'll start to get back in the groove.
