No condolences necessary. My worry is if Slang will survive a year here without tearing his hair out because of the marked cultural differences. Specially when it comes to doing business and government service. The latter being non existent in this country

My middle name is cultural differences.

The AC is installed and tested. It's a 2 hp Carrier (18000 btu). That should take care of the heat in the house anyway.

This is not my first trip there, this is the longest.

With all those things that I've sent there in advance I hope not to be bored too often.

I normally stay out of the tourist places and don't have troubles with the locals stealing from me as most consider me (at least in part ) as one of them.

On my way to the second leg of the trip today.

Ingat.
