1. There is a scenic river that runs alongside one side of the complex I live in. It has merrily flowing water and has trees on the side. The only downside is it doubles as an open sewer so the beautiful scenery is ruined by the smell of shit when the wind hits it just right.
2. I went to a small open air bar and saw a rat the size of a small cat
3. In the US if you see a sketch looking animal it is a cause for great concern. Stray animals are quite common here, in fact I saw a homeless woman and her child curled up sleeping with a stray dog.
4. I have not seen this as of yet but I have been warned by multiple sources of the dangers of wandering eunuchs. Apparently eunuchs will wander up to people and demand money. If you don't pay them they will curse you (as you should know the curse of a eunuch is only exceeded in power by that of a transexual). People here are superstitious here and so will gladly pay to get the curse reversed. I told my roommate that I don't care about superstitions and he said the other thing they could do to force me to pay would be to flash me. Chances are good I will pay.
5. They don't serve any alcohol anywhere prior to an election for several days, sometimes as much as a week. This is because it is actually a common practice to buy votes by gifting people alcohol and food, which people will become desperate for after a long week of fasting. My attempts to convince the server that I can't vote in the election and thus should be served as much alcohol as I desired fell upon deaf ears.
