Things around here seem really calm and peaceful. Too peaceful? I have really limited ability to interpret how things look to me on the street compared to what may be going on behind the scenes. or what may be about to happen. I went for a walk today to run a few errands and just to start flushing out the jet lag. I didn't feel particularly unsafe. Not anymore than usual anyway. And I bought a local phone card which allows internet connection. I'd say it's as good as my connect back home.
