Andrew and I are BFFs but are both secretly yearning for friends our own age to play with. We are on the hunt every day by the pool. We have learned to navigate the train - we're pretty proud of ourselves. We headed up to his school today - pretty nice place but really big and nerve-racking and not much housing nearby that isn't pretty slummy...My job is to find a place to live where we will all get our needs met.

So drinking is my most expensive hobby, apparently. Bud, one of the finer imported brews, is $20 a six pack. Corona is $18. Heineken is considered a cheap-crap domestic beer (along with Tiger) - they both sell for $16. Yellowtail, the bane of my existence mostly because my friends love it and I think it is not so loveable, is $25 a bottle. As I am enjoying the direct translations of the signs in the area...here is the latest. Sums my predicament up perfectly, really....
