Cleaning out my wallet
August 7, 2008
Business cards:
1. Guy who let us sleep on his roof in Turkey (I didn't)
2. Relocation company who finally got us our stuff
3. Artemis Hotel, where we stayed for that week that we were out of the gathering and Chinua was in. The man at the hotel swam with the kids everyday.
4. Taxi service
5. Birthing Center- I will do a full post on the beauty of this birthing center at some point.
Blurry drawing of a chai pot:
I like this because it shows how fun it is to communicate without a common language. Chinua drew the picture of the chai pot when we were trying to find one in Turkey (actually, it's çay there, pronounced the same) and I drew the picture of the roll of toilet paper. No idea what the 36 is for. Some abandoned accounting project, no doubt.
One grocery list from Sacramento, one grocery list from Goa:
You could do a whole study based on my grocery lists. You will never find 1/2 and 1/2 on a grocery list of mine here, because they don't have any. And by the way, the real... cheese is parmesan.
And last:
Ticket stubs from our boarding passes. All that traveling seems like it happened years ago...

interesting wallet for sure!
The things you think of to share!! I love it!
Have you seen the book that is about found grocery lists? I can't remember the title, but it was so much fun to peruse at the bookstore. Each page had a grocery list left behind by a shopper, with some comments by the author...it was hilarious.
One day I was at Kroger's and found a grocery list. I was intrigued reading it, trying to gain some insight about the author of the list. When I saw "zebras" on the list I was puzzled---until my husband reminded me that there are Little Debbie Snack Cakes called "zebras" because they have white frosting with chocolate stripes.
I love that you share your ordinary day to day life in far away India.
Dude. The contents of your wallet are FAR more interesting than mine (think stamps and last month's grocery lists).
