Power!

Closing doors in this country has it's benefits. You tend to avoid visitations of bats in your living room around dusk.

About three weeks into this trip, I finally managed to get my hands on the most vital thing during my stay: a powerstrip! I was naive enough to think I'd just find some hardware store over here that carried anything of the sort, and that was certainly never the case. Most electronics stores would be happy to sell me bluetooth headsets, pirated PSP games for a mere €5,- but extension cords were a complete mystery. Everywhere.

It didn't help that the apartment has a single power outlet every 5 odd meters -it was a circus act to keep my laptop and hard disk powered and in use at the same time.
