also: this is random, but there's a really funny thing about coffeeshops here... i mean, they LOOK like American coffeeshops, starbucks and seattle's best and coffee bean... the only difference appears to be the presence of pandesal and lots of mango pastries. but today was the third time I've ordered cafe au lait and been asked, "what flavor?" and when I say, "uh, coffee flavored?" they say "umm... just a brewed coffee?" and i have to carefully explain that I would like a brewed coffee, sure, or espresso, whatever, but WITH milk and foam - you know, au lait - but WITHOUT any white chocolate or mocha or hazelnut flavoring - and no, NOT creamer, actual milk - yeah, hot milk - ok thanks! it's just - i mean - that's what cafe au lait is, you know? why have it on the menu if you don't actually serve it? and i mean obviously this isn't a big deal but it really amuses me.
also, on a less amusing note: Dell, Microsoft and the collective PC world are all evil, terrible, no-good persons and corporations. this netbook is being hackintoshed at the first possible moment.
