had a day out of the water, but still wore a swim suit. That paid off
because working in an office with no A/C when it is about 100 degrees
gets hot, so some swim breaks were needed. Sitting at the computer
all day made me remember going to school and doing that almost
everyday, then I thought of the quick McDonalds breaks I would have
and missed it severly!
I then tried to explain to the staff what McDonalds was and why I
missed it, but no one understood... My comfort is that in 2 months I
will be in Sydney and get a chance to eat some deliciously deadly and
fattening fast food. I will also enjoy a hot shower for an hour or
two. Even though it is hot here, when you spend all day in the water,
especially if it rains, you enjoy some hot water. I look forward to
not boiling water before I drink it, sometimes I'm safe and have
become immune to it, but it is not happy when you find out the water
was not safe, EW.
Another thing I noticed, is that no matter who I call in town I just
have to say "hello" and the other caller says "Oh, Hi Luke". It is
now very evident that everyone on the island knows me, and since I am
one of three Americans, they have a 1 in 3 chance of getting my name
right by the way I talk. Definatly a small world, phone numbers are 3
digits generally, because everyone starts off 60_ _ _. Sometimes you
ask someone for their phone number and they respond "9" which would
mean it is 60009. Very different from the world of cities have 3 area
codes for themselves.
Enjoy your McDonalds,
Luke
