Laundry Service
And I don't mean the album where Shakira made the (in my opinion) terrible error of starting to sing in English...
I packed light to come here. Just one checked back, a medium sized roller bag. I have a satchel for taking two bags back. So I took a little over a week's worth of clothes, figuring laundry one a week. The key problem is that laundry takes a while. It has to hang dry in a humid country. Also my host mom saves it for the maid's weekly visit so it can be ironed. Today I snuck a pair of boxer shorts out of the to-be-ironed pile because I was out of clean ones. I think I'll buy a few more articles of clothing to help me get through laundry cycles.

this was a hoot! sneaking boxers out of the ironing pile...who would have thought when you never even ironed a shirt that wasn't for a formal occasion. Keep up the insights like this.

Shakira is an artist, and artists got to experiment, try new things, take risks, even if they don't work out. And personally I think Shakira sounds pretty good in English. Have a good trip.
