Went to the mall today to use some internet. It turns out the internet cafe at the YMCA closed down, so now I am here. Called my Mom on skype and talked to here for a while.
Gonna see Saw 6 at 7:50, it gives me something to do. Its only 6.50 American for a movie ticket here, thats cheap compared to the states.

My entry from yesterday dissapeared into a black hole, so I'll include yesterday in this entry.
Yesterday I dipe a full wipe down of the inside of the boat. The smell of vinegar made me want Salt & Vinegar Pringles really bad! It smelled so good.
Was cleaning up on deck for a while, then it started sprinkling. I didn't mind, but then it started raining hard and the sun was blotted out by black clouds, so it wasn't even worth it anymore.

Ran the engine and checked the electronics on the wheel. Everyone working on their boats started looking and pointing.
Then I took all of the covers off the windows. But by midday I realized its way too hot with them off, and everyone can see inside the boat. So I put them all back on. Going to wait a few more days until I take them off again.
Went swimming and dind some tricep exercises. I've got into the habit of swimming laps every other day. Then I showered off by the pool.

I cannot express my contempt for this country anymore. I used an ATM to get money out to buy groceries. It didnt dispense the money, but it showed that it had taken it out of my account. So I went in and talked to the guy in the bank. He said the ATM was having problems, so go to customer service at the National Bank by the post office. So I went there and talked to four people, including the boss of the bank. And they all either got someone else to help me, or told me it wasnt their problem (like the guy at the original bank did).
They said it is their policy that they cant give me the money. I said, "Yeah, but its YOUR ATM machine that isnt working. How is that not your problem? Why cant you just give me the money? It took the money."
I cant believe that even the boss of the National Bank wouldnt help me out! Now I know what everyone means when they tell me how lazy the people are here. Who do I talk to now, the President? Yeah right, he probably wouldnt even give me the money. I bet the bank boss pocketed the money it took from me.
