Happy Birthday to me! Lee and I started painting a room in the hostel to get a feel of what the finished product will be. I had a minor breakdown at the hardware store when I thought I'd ordered the wrong paint color. In most countries, I'm pretty sure the sales guy would be understanding and make a new can, but I'm pretty sure it would've been taken as a personal affront here like I was stealing directly out of the guy's pocket. I almost broke out into hives imagining what a scene it would be. Fortunately, toasted wheat was indeed the correct color. After a half an hour filling holes and taping baseboards and stuff, I think we came to the conclusion that we'll leave the other rooms to the pros. The rest of the birthday festivities were slightly more exciting fortunately.
