wireless and lizards

first: its guanabana, not guayabana.
second: i shaved my head. it is much cooler now.
in addition:
in this little farming town of 7000, we happened upon a farm supply store with a little WiFi logo on the fence. We walked in, hoping for the best, and were warmly welcomed to stay and use the wifi for free. damn.
in this country, there are a lot of bugs. mosquitos, cockroaches, flies, other assorted things. there are many, and some are quite large. they are bothersome. many carry diseases, such as malaria and dengue, the latter of which already one of my fellow trainees has had already. naturally an ecosystem develops where these bugs are eaten by something - in this case, lizards, usually green or brown and 4 to 8 inches long. they like to hide in dark places. we also know that here catholocism is very important. jesus is pretty much everywhere. what do lizards and jesus have in common? in a fellow trainee's house, the lizards live in jesus's head, a painting on the wall. whenever a bug comes by, lizards pop out of jesus, chase, catch and eat the fresh local catch of the day. this provides hours of entertainment.
