So I have been here almost three weeks. Still using the welcome kit, still waiting for my UAB shipment which is 250 pounds of stuff you want to come immediately - sheets, towels, stuff like that but enjoying the city more. My UAB should have arrived in the first week but 20 days and counting.
Anyway, in the interim, I got around to doing the laundry. Towels, sheets, socks all into the machine. Overseas I find all of the appliances to work very differently. My dryer doesn't say time and temperature, it asks me if I want my clothes to be ready-to-iron, cupboard dry, or ready-to-wear. I am treating it like a mini-research project, keeping track of how my clothes feel when they are cupboard-dry. Washing machine is also a mystery involving converting Celsius to Fahrenheit, separating by fabric type and if I am doing a daily wash, sport (?) or something else. This is really just a crap shoot.
So problem is the sheets I washed are green. So now my towels (formerly white) are green too. As is the bathmat. Let's see what else I can do to screw up the Welcome kit.
