- Neither my MSUFCU-issued visa credit nor debit card work here EVEN WITH PIN NUMBERS! But I can still withdrawal money from the ATM with this debit card.
- Traveling on the train turned out to be way more stressful than I thought. I know that trains are quite sophisticated in Europe, but perfectly on-time trains don't make up for the fact that it was very difficult to find a place to put my suitcases.
- Things are expensive here. Many fruits and vegetables are sold by unit.10 clementines cost the equivalent of $5.
It's only 9pm here but I'm exhausted. I'm going to lay my head on my makeshift pillow since I didn't bring one from the States and haven't bought one yet.

buy what you need to buy early... i got really stressed out my first few days in bangladesh because i didn't have money, a phone, etc. (in addition to total culture shock)
Have fun. Sounds crazy with all the stresses of travelling there. Turns out DOI doesn't block the blog yet - I thought it did. Your vegetable crisis sounds the same over in my half of the world. $8/lb peppers and any dairy products is 3-4X more expensive. Most food is 2-3X as pricey. Oh yay, lots of rice and beans for me! After you settle down in a week, everything will be good. Miss ya
