Pizza Time
This is a typical place for Broderick to be located. We ordered a cabinet to store toys in (because they don't have closets over here), but it has yet to arrive. Therefore, Broderick is playing out of boxes still, but usually ends up playing inside of them as well. 
The garbage cans they give you over here are small, very small. They are about half the size of a 33 gallon can in the states. You're not allowed to fill them past a certain line, but we're told if you do, then put a couple of cans of beer on top and the garbage men will take the garbage (and the beer). Well when you move, you always have more garbage and we have boxes from different things we've bought - so what do you do with these things? You recycle. There is a huge recycling center where you need to take your items to get rid of them. Some of the bins are easy to figure out, like papir (paper), and plastik (plastic), but there are some that aren't so easy. I always wonder what people are thinking watching a lady walk around basically a garbage dump looking up words in her dictionary. I finally asked someone where do I put the milk cartons and cereal boxes (a normal thing to recycle in the states), and was informed they were just garbage and he showed me where to put it. All that work to find out it was just garbage in the first place.
We went out for pizza tonight, it was nice to go out. Interestingly enough, most pizza places here are pizza and kebab places and are usually run by middle easterners. The pizza tonight wasn't bad and the workers were happy to meet me and Broderick. I guess they had seen a lot of Brad this summer and were interested to finally see his family. I don't think that was a good sign of Brad's eating habits while he was here by himself. =)
