High-Fi Wi-Fi

So, we're here, Mel and I. A week in and things are going pretty well. We have cell phones (which will work everywhere but in the States) a bank account, an apartment, and the low end of the ikea catalog is arriving on Wednesday.

I also bought a Rasonic TV. It looked just like the Pansonic one sitting next to it (same font even), but it cost half as much. AND it came with a free "high-fi" audio player. Not a CD player, or even a tape deck, just an audio player. You actually have to transfer your music onto a SD memory card, and then stick it in this thing in order to play anything. It is quite possibly the most useless peice of music technology ever conceived. It was destined to be a give away.

We're also getting broadband put in tomorrow. There wasn't any internet in the apt, when we got here, so I've been drinking my way through Mocha Frapachino's in order to share in Starbucks' wi-fi.

I take that back. There is in fact Internet in the apt, but you have to sit in the window sill, it's coming from the huge office tower directly outside our window. I only figured that out just now, some 12 hours after starting this blog, running out of batteries, going back to sleep, getting lunch, going to the hardware store, going to ikea, going out to dinner, and then coming back home to find a cockroach.

It's been a long day, but more bloggin' on the way. Just got to transfer me over some pictures.
