another day of freedom

I managed to sneak out undetected again today. Although this time it was just into town to try and get a mobile phone, or at the least a sim card. It turned out to be harder than it seemed as the guy kept blatantly trying to scam me, so I decided to wait until I can take someone who knows the language to get one. It's so strange though. I guess I had accepted the stares as normal at the start cos it was all really new to me, so i was doing a lot of staring too. But now that things are starting to become a bit more familiar and i can get around myself a little easier, i don't stare as much. I guess I'd figured they'd die down after a while, but no. To be fair, today was especially bad though, as the wind was pretty strong today, so add that to the affect the humidity has had on my hair and you cant blame people for wanting to look. That kind of volume isn't something you see every day. I don't mind it, its just a bit harder to ignore than I thought it would be.
Other than that, I've spent most of the day trying to restore programmes, files etc to my computer and catch up with a backlog of emails. I'm getting there. But I would like to ask; why do people make viruses?! If I ever meet someone that does, I will slap them. (Or at least verbally.)
