Yes, that Ca...Sorry to read about the lost camera.<br /><br />Yes, that Canadian woman was brave, but I'm even braver. When I turned on the light upon returning to my apartment the very first night after I moved in, I saw a cockroach scuttle across the floor. I'm not kidding!! And I couldn't bear to confront my landlord to compain about it, because she had a hideous "lucky" face mole that nauseated me.<br /><br />I don't know why I didn't pack up and leave that first week.vinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-60156458994842318372011-03-02T13:27:34.775+08:002011-03-02T13:27:34.775+08:00correction: probably WAS on the hill.

I find the Taiwanese to be generally honest folks who won't randomly steal things, but if a camera is left on a hilltop no matter where you are it's probably gone forever (unless you're in Japan, in which case someone will take it and leave you a note to call them, and when you do they will meet to return it to you after cleaning it and warning you not to do it again).<br /><br />My husband left the Nikon I bought him for Christmas in an Internet cafe in Honduras. Y'think he ever got it back? Ha. Ha. Haa.
