Wordless

Well, not quite. Here I go thinking that tonight is going to be an easy night with an early ending. Guess what? There is a local kid's birthday in my guesthouse tonight. As I am writing this from my room I'm feeling the bass thud against my chest and hum in my ears. Apparently even small kids here enjoy music as loud as western teenagers.

And I have my first major injury from the travels.

Infection in my left eye. It started last night when I suddenly realized that I had rubbed my eye beyond the point of no return trying to get dirt or something out. So I knew what to expect this morning and true enough, now I have a bit swollen, bright red eye. The local doctor was a package though. In the morning when I went in to show my eye saying: "I think I have an infection in my eye", The guy immediately propped me against an eye examination thingy and started glaring. After few minutes of intense staring and turning my eyelids inside out (quite painful actually when infected) he stated: "You have an infection in your eye."
And apparently eye exams don't require gloves down here.
But the story has a happy ending. Few minutes of pain and few more waiting and I leave with 9 dollars lighter and 2 different eye drop bottles heavier. One is antibacterial and other is just plain sterile drops. That oughta sort it out.

Now I need to get out of this room even when it's raining cats and dogs outside. Otherwise I might turn in to an old fashioned Finnish axe murderer. Or at least I will go chop their speakers to something suitable of making a fire.
