Your daily activities remind me of Cuba, being called “el chino”, exorbitant amounts of bug spray, curious children, the crazy diesel fumes spewing out from old chevys/mopeds. Well, sans malaria meds and vultures. Those birds are huge! I hope you get the rest you need.

Cuba will come to me one day. The vultures reminded me of carcass-eating-bald-flying turkeys. Happy thanksgiving? We threw them a piece of chicken.
The mosquito thing really only occurs at sunset and at night. Otherwise, I don’t see them around much during the day.
