Business Class

HI!!! We did make it, and I'm glad that Dad got on here to let everyone know. We are doing fine, and have been just trying to get used to living here. It is very different, and most definitely a third world country. There are lots of people...EVERYWHERE!! Walking, driving cars..it's crazy to me. Most likely I will not drive in this country. There aren't really any traffic signs, and if there are, people don't follow them. So it's quite nerve-racking. If you have to turn you just kinda put yourself out there, and hopefully the other people are watching and don't hit you. Spencer is wide-eyed everytime we go out. There are people all up and down the road, selling things and just walking. I'll tell you about what they sell later. I did want to tell you about our Business Class experience coming here. Now that is the way to travel!!!! We had a 17 and a half hour flight here, so it was great that we got Business class. They had reclining chairs for us to sit in, and Spencer slept probably half of each flight because of those seats! :) We also had individual TVs and could watch movies or different channels or play games. The food they served to us was wonderful too!! I've never had beef like that on an airplane, let alone anywhere else! It was great!! Oh and when we were waiting for our flight to leave we went to the first class lounge, I had to go to the bathroom...HOLY COW!! There was soft lighting, a rose in a vase, AND the toliet seat was warm!!!!! Quite different than what we are living like now, but it was a nice little present. :) So yeah...that is about all for now. I will write more when we get our internet or when we come back to the Embassy and get on the internet here.....Maybe next Sat. But let me tell you real quick about the sellers on the side of the road. They sell EVERYTHING! From fruits and bread, to office chairs, eggs (that they carry on their head!), clocks, maps, books, furniture, and I thought I saw someone selling parts of a gun...but not positive about that one. But the thing is, if you are in the car driving and they are walking up the side of the road right by your car, if you catch their eye or they see you looking at their stuff, they run up to the window and press it onto the window so you'll buy it. crazy! You just kinda have to look up in the sky or off to nowhere, or just ignore them. We've also had some beggars come up to the window of cars we've been in and want stuff, sad to say that we have to ignore them...but that's what we do. It is really crazy here, but good too. We've had 3 geckos in our house so far, cockroaches (the biggest being around 2 inches), and ants. But they say you'll never get rid of the ants, which are all different types. Oh and a flying bug that was in the house last night, but we weren't really sure what it was. Tyler said it looked like a huge ant that could fly. It was probably an inch to two inches big. Well I should go now. I will write more later. We are doing fine, and would love to hear from you all! I'll be in more contact when we get in our house, by the 1st of November, and we'll have internet there. Have a great day!
