I woke up and got ready. I headed to the immigration office. There, after figuring out where exactly to go, I got the process of picking up my visa. This process only took 10-15 minutes since there was not many other people. I was rather shocked by that. I then headed home. At home, I ate lunch and watched the opening game of the Copa Mundial (World Cup). Fierce battle between South Africa and Mexico that ended in a tie.
It was Chelsey's birthday, and while her roommate got stuff for it. Chelsey and I walked around the Japanese Gardens and took photos and just talked. It was nice. We then walk from there to the place where Chelsey practices polo. It was cool. After hanging out and take some photos. We headed home, where we surprised Chelsey. After that, we got the dinner at the residencia. After figuring out a game plan, we got most of the residencia to come to a club called CroBar with us. It made the night cool and fun in a bittersweet way.
At the club, we were on the VIP list so we had a table and got there early for like some form of foods. It was a great way to just hang out and talk to some people. Then the live music blended with electronics started, and we all started dancing. It was a fun fill night of dancing, plenty of laughs, music from the last three decades (they love the music from the 80's here). It was a lot of fun to hang out with people whom I live with.
Overall one of the best nights I have had in this country.

What a difficult day
2-15-10
I woke up around 9ish. I grabbed some food and got my bags packed. I grabbed some money and paid my bill. I moved into my hostel which is only a block or so away from where I will be living starting the 26th through the 19th of June. I then headed to the Nikon store. If you have seen below, I am in a pickle. I have to wait until next Thursday (the 25th) for an estimate on my camera and lense. This will be an estimate, not a certianity. The people who I gave my gear to, not the same who will be fixing my camera, said it would probably around 30 days or so. For me that is a long time. I came back distraught and wrote the thing before. I had been emailing a craiglist poster since Friday. I could get the camera and a lens used for around 450 or so US. My dad said he would give me the money but is hesitant about the reality of this working since its a low price, and I would have to go her place in the evening. I am not sure what to do.
I tried to relax at the hostel for a bit. My computer was being a poo, which is really no surprised. I am currently trying to download a Malware fighter. I can not wait for a new computer (though I would take my camera back and keep my computer for a bit more if I could, I think.) This camera situation has me all distraught and not thinking rationally, maybe. I am not sure anymore. Abbey tried to calm me down which was nice but I am still not feeling strong. I hate that a material good has me this worked up. It maybe that things are falling apart and the easiest solution is so far away.
I went to a Japanese garden with Dana. It was really relaxing, and slighty helped me through this moment. I will return when I get a DSLR again due to the fact that it is pretty, cheap, and near by. After, we walked and talked and then eventually partied ways. I got on the subway here, and went into the center of the city. I went to the Nikon store again to see what the cheapest option was. Cheapest (because it is all new) is 1000 US for the latest one, D90. UGH. I am in torture and do not know what to do.
I then headed back where I got harressed by a little punk who wanted money or something. I eventually was able to escape him and get on the subway. I got back to my stop, grabbed food. Then sat and dwelled on opitions. I looked for used camera stores here. Closest I could find was an ebay type thing that had some decent options where the best option was right around the one the woman is asking for. Hmmm. I am trying to urge people to buy my photos so then I could get money then maybe I can do something about all this. Anyone who doesn´t know, go to www.jacksinclairphotography.com. Now to work on my computer. I am slowly trying to edit my photos from my month away.
I have a list of what is happening from Feb 26th to March 31st. I will post it soon.
My address from Feb 26th to June 19th is
