B and I moved out of NORAD hostel into a house with another American girl. (Hurray, more girls! I was really starting to feel like the annoying little sister.) T-Man helped with the move and his piki piki (motorcycle) proved to be worthy substitute for a moving truck. Apparently moving was the order of the day and B and T-Man had been doing so all day with a bunch of boxes that arrived with one of the PIs from Seattle, which meant a relaxing dinner at SUASA. Tempted by the grilled chicken, I had the usual vegetable curry. I'm so predictable.
After the meal, B brought out the cards for a game of Gin Rummy. T-Man was pretty much hilarious! His commentary is really priceless. At first I was on his bad side because I kept taking all the cards he wanted but we eventually (as soon as I was no longer in the lead) came to an understanding. I blame my loss on the extremity of my allergies. Ever-well prepared, B even had a pack of travel kleenex! Sneezing at SUASA until about 11, we headed back to the house for our first night there. The card-playing really reminded me of the usual post-dinner entertainment at home, minus the "For crying out loud!"s and the "You better SCOOT SCOOT SCOOT!"s.
The new house is really nice. My room is literally a bed with a mosquito net in the middle of the room. Picture to come...The shower is sufficient but nothing spectacular. Think a hose with less water pressure and with warm water. I can only anticipate the difficulty this will present in trying to maintain my hair. Regardless, I am really looking forward to staying at the new mini-sorority house.
