29JUN11 1420 hours

I have the entire day off today to rest and adjust before starting work. I woke up at 0500 to get used to the day shift schedule but there wasn’t anything to do so I ended up taking another nap around 8 or so anyway.

We ordered some pizza from some chain that they also have in the states. My roomie said that the pizza was good, but that must’ve been back in the states because this pizza was crap! I can honestly say it was the worst pizza I’ve ever had.. and we had to pay a lot of money for it too. I know now I guess.

Val Reed, the girl that hooked me up with the job out here was supposed to stop by and say wsup, but didn’t. I got a hold of her via skype later and she claimed that she did. I’ll be whoopin’ that ass next time I see her.

My roomie J took me out to the mall/bazaar area. A bazaar is basically a flea market where you can bargain and what not. We stayed out there for a couple hours and also stopped by the grocery store. I forgot to pick up some fufu spray, just remembered while writing this actually. This place has the musty, sewage kind of smell that you find in some third world countries. I bought groceries but I can’t bring myself to eat anything in here yet. That’s one way to lose weight I guess. The taxi cost about 2 KD each way. I think the exchange is 3.55 USD per 1 KD. IF you can’t figure it out ask Matt Curry.

I’ve seen a lot of Filipinos and Chinese out here. Some of the local women don’t look bad, but you can’t talk to them in public. It’s a shame because a lot of these local girls could be looking pretty cool but that unabrow look is hot out here! They rock that shit off like diamond earrings and Rolex’s.

I’m anxious to start work and get to know some more people. My roomies said that there isn’t a whole lot of comradery out here. I expected this as it’s a civilian job, but we’ll see if I can change any of that.

Also, these cigarettes out here are weak! I may need to request some cartons from back home. I don’t think they even have any chewing tobacco out here! I want to quit both, but damn! Max send me some logs. Sam send me a carton. Thanks!
