I love my job. Daily, if not hourly, I find myself in a situation that makes me laugh, usually because it is a situation that I NEVER thought that I would be in. Let me warn you though; some of these things might not be amazing to you, but they should be :)
Here are some examples from the last few days.
1. I'm staying with some friends for a few days in a neighboring country, and this morning, bright and early, their milk lady came to bring them some milk. I thought it was like we had in KZ, that they buy it from a lady who sells the bags. But nope, the lady milks her cow, then brings the just from the cow milk to their house. Sarah then has to pastuerize it and then they have milk. For some reason, that cracked me up! They actually get their milk straight from the cow!
2. Today, I was with some friends and one of them remarked, " Its really strange when the things that you saw in movies growing up shift and become a real part of your life." She was talking about the mafia presence in most countries around here, and how it is easy to pick them out because of their nice cars, fancy clothes, chain smoking, etc...
3. I flew on a plane yesterday that was definitely built before anyone reading this blog was alive. It was incredible. Here is my journal entry. Enjoy, and be glad you didnt have to ride on this thing.
" I want to remember every part of this ride.. it is that good! As I start to write, my pen is jarred back and forth; because the distance between me and the air is relatively small. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that I could cit a hole through the wall with a butter knife.
I'm sitting in a chair that is also remarkable. First, it leans all the way forward, so if you want a bed, you just put your feet on the back of the chair in front of you. It is covered in this intensly hideous fabric that is older in age and style than my grandparents.
The floors- yup, they are bright green; they almost resemble the fake grass that a McDonalds playland boasts. The fabric covering the "seats/beds" is also incredible. It had flowers on it, blue and green ones, but the material was definitely the same that many people use for curtains. Oh, and there are actual curtains in the windows, pretty, lacy, white ones... or at least they were pretty and white when they were hung in the mid 1950's. "
It was just funny. Life presents so many opportunities to laugh. I hope that I take them!

No one will believe, even if they saw it with their own eyes
