rhyllI haven't got anything very exciting to report. Here are some bits:
* The weather here is as close to perfect as one can get.
* A lot of cars here are fitted with reversing-beeps. Most of these are tunes, like mobile ringtones. It is odd, and adds to the confusion of noise.
Firsts. Yesterday i saw my first rubbish bin (tiny, two metres up on a pole, and stuffed) and my first street sign. This morning i had my first really unpleasant chilli encounter - i ate a whole chilli by accident, and in a couple of seconds water was bucketing out of my eyes. it was really painful, but mostly i just felt silly.
i want people to smile at me. i feel so frustrated at people staring at me blankly and doing the indian head-waggle thing. i am saving up every smile i get (two today).
i am feeling lonely and fragile today, which is ok because i know it will pass. it helps when i remind myself that i've only been here four days. i've done the thing i do, where i already think that i have been here forever, and i forget that four days is not very long to get used to things.
i think i will go do some productive things now, to cheer myself up.
