I've got a Fever and the only perscription is more Cowbell

Alright so maybe it isn't Cowbell but it certainly isn't the 10 different kinds of Meds I am taking. (This picture doesn't show how sick I really am)

I am sick. Yeah... figures.. Two weeks and I get a cold. This is a little on the ridiculous side though. I really should have not gone to work the first 3 days but I did. Now I regret it. I have NO voice, fever of 101 (which may not seem like alot.. but when it is 99,000 degrees already outside), and a serious addiction to the kleenex box. It totally sucks. And what makes it suck even more is that Karina just got here and now I have someone to do things with.

So we've been to the market now a couple of times.. The fruit and veggie and spice parts are interesting to navigate and learn how to bargain. Men sit atop 3-4 levels of platforms surrounded by veggies. This dude totally called me over and made me haul my butt up to the top just for a photo! He was loving it!

The past couple of days the weather has been miserable. Rain and more rain.. but today there was sun and I was cursing that too as it was so hot. I guess I just cannot be please when it comes to weather. The constant sweating is a little ridiculous.


Not much going on at the office... another project launching thing tomorrow but I am not going in again because I am sick. I think we are going to a village sometime next week to do some training. Should be interesting.

Ramadan starts on Friday... although I am not fasting (come on... there is no way this kid could possible last all day without food) it will be interesting to see how everyone handles the lack of food. Apparently many restaurants and markets will be closed until late in the day, and most people don't want to work. We actually get to go home an hour early everyday. This time really shows who is a true Muslim! I am waiting to catch someone hiding in the closet mowing down some French fries!

The Sausage fest that happens on the streets... women are only seen out and about when they walk to and from work. Other than that.. Sausage fest all the way.

Oh yeah and Aziz one of the office guys got me medicine.. and it cost $1. I got a bottle of Cough sirop, 10 fever pills, and 10 cold pills.. grand total $1. Yeah imagine Shopper's Drugmart... You couldn't walk outta there without spending $15-20. Although I was a little skeptical and Googled the Meds just to make sure I wasn't getting illegal ecstasy or something! I've seen the movie Brokendown Palace.. I don't want to go to Thai prison thank you.

And I noticed I used the word interesting a lot. Interestingly enough.. I don't care. I also noticed that there was no point to this post either. It is extremely random.
