SHOCK SHOCK SHOCK!!!!!!!!!!

One of the biggest shocks so far were not of cultural nature ...

(i just felt like i need to write a special post on this). After spending so much time cleaning the kitchen, especially the stove and the fridge, something happened. The fridge looked much better, the stove as well - i was quite proud of how well me and Nichole did to clean that. Well, we were ready to put the stove into function when somebody came to visit us, and while i was asking for some help with the stove, they lifted the top part of it ......... Not even in your worst nightmares you could imagine what layed in there.

If you can't figure out what it is in there i will give you a close-up:

If you still have troubles to see what is in there i will tell you - fish and crab skeletons + rat excrements and some other things like plastic bags, but those get in to the 'can be ignored' category, when u have other major stuff.

So... Action Plan - call the landlad + get her to do smth about the situation. She came in... appeared to be petrified when she saw that. We said we cannot cook with that stove, so she promised she will bring in another one. I got a bit frustrated, because we have spent a whole day cleaning that thing and i tried to make sure she is bringing a new one in (NB: 'new' in Egypt means, new to that place, not new as in brand new, just out of the factory). So, even though i might've sounded a bit rude, i asked her to make sure the new stove is going to be clean, because we spend so much time cleaning that one and i had no intention on cleaning another stove again! Well, half an hour later, she brought us this new stove, much bigger, with a nice oven (Nichole can now make cookies) and CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!! I was happy.

Well, we are still waiting for somebody to come and hook it up for us, so we've been eating out, ordering food ... which i am kind of fed up with; the guy was suppose to come today at 3:30; i had Nichole hurry to get home, because i had an assessment at school at that time, but nobody showed up. It is Egypt!!!!
