New Pictures & Smoking

I added a few new posts today (with pictures!), and I also went back to the post entitled "the rest of orientation" and added lots of pictures, so be sure to check it out!  I think I also added a few more pictures to some of the other earlier posts as well, so take a look around.  I should have all of my pictures caught up on my old posts.  Whew!

Note on Smoking:

Oh my goodness, everyone smokes here!!!!  Old people, young people, probably even babies (you only think I am kidding).  I am actually surprised I haven't seen cigarette machines in places like we used to have in the U.S., well in Texas at least.  I am sitting in a coffee shop right now and am completely surrounded by smoke.  I hope I can find some febreze here to de-smoke-ify my clothes each night.  Wow.  I think the guy sitting across from me has gone through at least 5 cigarettes in the last hour.  No wonder there aren't any super old people here - they all died of lung cancer (from smoking themselves or from second-hand smoke!!).

One picture of the smoking (granted, it actually is of some incense burning at lauren's apartment, but you get my drift with the tendrils of smoke floating around):
