Things that no longer shock me...

  • Sparks flying every time I unplug the computer back up and plug in the printer.
  • Not have water for hours without warning. (no washing, toilet flushing, laundry, sink, etc.)
  • Little geckos scurrying in and out of the house
  • The mosquito fogger guy on a bike spraying ddt every evening
  • Cows, dogs, chickens, bullocks, goats and the occasional monkey impeding traffic
  • Multidimensional traffic coming/going wherever it can, organized by a set of rules that can't quite be articulated or abstracted... not unlike the flow of water.
  • Public urination.  (Still don't like it, but am no longer shocked.)
  • Having household help.
  • Eating perfectly ripe pineapple... for 36 cents.
  • Keeping the windows open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year (excepting the occasional monsoon downpour)
  • 15 varieties of mango available during mango season.
  • Having beer delivered to your house.
