This blog.

By definition, this blog will never be finished since I am perpetually escapading. So far, 3/4 of China is done (a work in progress...), but now I'm in Mo'orea and will be attempting to finish Mo'orea first since it's only a month, not almost a year. But with super limited internet, this isn't going to be lightning fast (surprise!).

Cheers!

Uncovering our apartment III

 Originally thought to just be a dusty, black stovetop....

 ....was actually stainless steel and white...

With a little help from a thick brush and the "oil sludge cleaner" we found, I am pleased to report that it is now wonderfully shiny and clean.

 Dried gecko #1.
Hiding place: In a light fixture in the living room.
I thought it was a leaf and tried to vacuum it out.  It was not a leaf, but an entire gecko.  The dried curled tail fell on my pinky toes.  Definitely made me scream at first.

 Dried gecko #2
Hiding place: On the top of a cabinet door in the kitchen.
I thought it was a piece of bark this time.  It was not.... And its sticky belly got stuck to my fingernail.  That was a life experience I never intended on having.

  1. I'm not scared of geckos normally but these are way too disgusting!
