Skills...

...that I have acquired since moving here:

1. Learning 4 chords on the guitar

2. Using a paper cutter (which they call a guillotine, and they pronounce the l's too...)

3. Holding my stomach together during all the curvy drives in small cars

4. Eating enough sweets to fill a meal (bad idea, by the way...)

5. Making a good cup of black tea (I don't know if I can go back to herbal anymore...)

6. Making a decent cup of french press coffee (still working on this one...)

7. Leading worship (again, still working on this one...)

8. Writing emails to friends back home

And many more things.
