So how was the New Year's, R?

Various flavors of strangeness over here.

Well, it's kind of like this.

I can't wait to get home, but at the same time I would definitely bring all my friends over if I could.

This place gets about as surreal as you can imagine, what with language barriers, cultural differences, etc. At times, I feel like I'm an international sitcom.

For example, going to McDonald's in the middle of Mad Cow Madness, only to see a sign that reads (and I assume is there to make me feel better):

Australia's Cleanliness Meat
McDonald's Burger is Safety!

Now apply this wackiness with a whole lotta drinking and an ensemble cast of pissed off grunts, crazy locals, and Russian or whatever-Stani ladies looking for love, and... I really should be marketing this.
