We just had UN day at our school, a fantastic weekend event where families set up in classrooms to tell others about their home countries. It was amazing to see how many countries were represented. I even got to speak some Czech!
I think we have mentioned that we are much more socially active here and that continues. We went to a Halloween party, something Jeanette and I have NEVER done before. Jeanette went as a pack of plain M&Ms and I went as M&Ms with nuts. Funny, right? Totally Jeanette's idea. We spent the night drinking, eating and playing Guitar Hero. It turns out that we both are pretty good at it.
We bought our first piece of furniture, a kitchen storage unit. After putting it into place and reorganizing, I (Paul) decided to make dinner. Plugged the blender into our voltage regulator, flipped the switch and heard a pop. Looked at the regulator and saw that I had plugged it into the 220, not the 110. Undeterred, I moved the plug and flipped the switch again. This time we got fireworks and smoke. I think it was an omen telling us that we should continue to eat out.
