I Made It

I'm here, safe and sound and all in one piece.  The jet lag has been actually not as bad as I thought it would be.  I've been mostly okay during the days, but getting wiped at nights.  It's improving though.  The last few days have been spent just chilling and meeting C's friends.

But strangely enough, I don't feel like I've moved to a mostly foreign country at all.  I feel natural here.  Like I belong.  Granted, it is strange not being able to drive, but overall it's not that different. Or at least it doesn't feel that different.  So far, anyways.

There's a few interesting differences that I have noticed though.  Besides the obvious driving on the opposite side of the road and accents and such. Like:
-Cabs don't take credit/debit cards.  Technichally they're not cabs specifically, just any regular car with a meter added. But they're cash only.  At least here in MK they are.
-Lack of toilet seat covers in public restrooms.  Now, this might bother quite a few girls that I know/have come across in Cali.  But I've had to get used to using public restrooms in Mexico before, and not in the nicer areas either.  So it's not a big deal, just interesting that they aren't offered.
-Bathroom sinks. In homes, the sinks in the bathroom have two separate faucets, one for hot water and one for cold. In kitchens, it's one faucet for both the hot and cold knobs. Bathrooms though, either freeze your hands or wash them fast so they don't burn.

So not a lot that's a huge difference, at least not that anyone would immediately think about.  Just a quite a few little things making me go "hey, that's different".  But so far no huge shocks.  It's been a fun few days, so am really looking forward to the next week or so, and then move in day on the 15th.  Wishing everyone the best.
