Be sure to check out part I, check out Part II, and enjoy part III.

• Your alarm clock is as natural as a rooster crowing. Except it's a crow that hops on your hot tin roof, resulting in a BASH BASH BASH from up above. You try to laugh at the obscurity, but it's hard to laugh at 4:30am.
  
• At the neat little coffee shop you found in town, you order the house special. It tastes quit yummy! Espresso, ice cream, blue goo, and something you just can't put your finger on.... Then it hits you like a dizzy spell when you stand up, and the waitress smiles and says "Whiskey!"
  
• The border patrol is more interested in the morning paper than the vehicles he is suppose to be inspecting. He even gets a little annoyed when the driver beeps his horn to ensure he can really drive into the country un-inspected.
  
• You come home from a short trip and you hear that the local volcano blew.
  
• You get to study in a hammock.
  
• The locals talk about the unusually cold mornings. 15-20 degrees Celsius makes news here.
  
• Yes, 15 is cold.
  
• Skype saves sanity.
  
• Dutch blitz is taken to a new level. 8 people, a million hands, and swear words held back in two languages.
