I know I already created an awesome blog about some of the first world problems that I keep running into in the most inconvenient places. Namely my brain. I felt it's been long enough to give an update and add a few more jewels to the list.
1. Should I get dressed and eat by the pool, or stay in my pyjamas and order room service? Will I get the same waiter who brought me room service for the past 3 days?
2. Does an ebola outbreak in the US mean I'll get a cheaper first class ticket to Africa?
3. I have to clean my apartment because I have maid coming in to give me a quote and I don't want her to see it dirty.

Life Lesson #301
When I say "make yourself at home," what I really mean is to make yourself a cup of coffee. Or tea. Or have a Coke from my fridge. I don't mean feel free to move my stuff around in my bathroom. Really? Is this a cultural difference I'm going to face repeatedly because I was raised Southern?
