Numbers

Internet use has been limited, but I miss blogging, so I'm gonna do some quick and dirty observations, numbers style.

June 14, 2007: First time I brushed my hair in Bosnia. Seven days after I arrived.
5: Average stray cats I see a day.
40 degrees Celsius: Average daily summer temp of Mostar. That's 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
1.50 KM: Price of an ice cream cone. Roughly $1.00 US.
2 KM: Price of an hour of internet. Do your own math.
57%: One reported unemployment rate of Mostar.
210€: Rent of my studio apartment, utilities included.
9 minutes: How long the hot water lasts in my shower.
3 hours: How long I've been alone since leaving the U.S. (Sleeping excluded.) And I'm okay with that!
100%: Rate at which the war has come up in conversations with locals.
7,524: Number of cups of coffee I've consumed in Bosnia.
1: Number of Bosnian verbs I know. "Understand." So I can say, "I don't understand."

3: Minutes left of internet time! Gotta dash! Going to Sarajevo for the weekend. Ciao ciao!
