10) The cost of living. Anyplace you can buy a meal for $3 rates in my book.

9) Playing Frogger with the cars and scooters when crossing a major street at rush hour.

8) Rarely hearing Barack Obama's name.

7) Never hearing Mit Romney's name.

5) The kids--unbelievably beautiful children everywhere.

4) Central Market. They just did a major rennovation and WOW, this place is really great. Love the fish market.

3) $8 massages

2) $4 foot massages

Market? Did someone say shopping?
Yeah, Judi, I know that anything that sounds like shopping will get your attention. I'll look for some knock off Gucci shoes for you.

Tim, So glad you have found a place and settled in. I am now caught up with all of the blog entries you've made and happy that you are having a good (and very different) experience. The rat story made me laugh quite a bit especially when I can visualize what you wrote! We all miss you very much!
