Ever have one of those days when you're frustrated almost beyond your limits and nothing seems to work out exactly right? Welcome to moving to a foreign country. No matter what I plan and try to arrange properly, I keep ending up getting screwed out of my first choice on everything by nothing more than circumstances.

The car I wanted had already been sold, by the way.

So, the relocation lady went to the wrong car dealer and didn't have additional time to find me. I made two or three ridiculously expensive phone calls from my American cell phone, the car had been sold last week but it made sense to leave it sitting on the lot with all the others apparently, and I was two hours late too work with absolutely nothing to show for my time.

Things are neither backwards nor God-forsaken here but they certainly are different.
