Believe me, I completely understand. One thing to get used to over here is incompetence. Nothing is the way it seems and 5 people will tell you 5 different things to be done. I remember going through that whole mess with us getting our visas to come over. Not fun. Most things here are like that from the driving to the lack of lines to even trash, if you think about it all long enough it will give you a heart attack in a week. They have a saying here il dolce far neinte which means "the sweetness of doing nothing" and they follow that like the bible. You will walk into a store to get something done and have to stand there 10 min so the two employees can finish a converstation about their weekend. But as long as you are Zen about everything and take it like a grain of salt, its a fun place to live.
