So May has been interesting. The first two weekends have been an absolute blast. The second involved merely a night out in a bar called Beer-O-Clock. A buddy of a friend owns the bar there, who i found out not long after plays darts with my Uncle Paul's good friend who lives here, Doug. I've gone out with him and his wife many times, and they happened to mention that they play darts together every Friday. Small freaki'n' world. In a city of 10 mil, you real...

Seeing as I have been here for a half of a year, I figured it was time to start extending my vocabulary beyond what I've learned so far. This lengthy list includes, "thank you, goodbye, hello, where is, how much, water, more water, please, coffee, bus terminal, subway station," and with that, I will add a complex ensemble of charades.
