Irritations, o "Cosas que me molestan"

So, I've raved about the city and the things that I'm loving so far a lot.

Now it's time to get to the two things that are pissing me off.

First, meal time. There are two main meal times during the work day (which appears to be about 9-7, yea they work a hell of a lot longer than us at home. it's not fun). They are 2-4 and 4-6 with the assumption that the people eating at the 4-6 spot are either 2nd or 3rd shift people.

What this means though, is that nearly every restaurant in the city closes at 6. So when I get off around 7 or 8 (or later the first day) I have no where to eat.

Which leads me to my second problem, there are no damn supermarkets anywhere near me. Or markets, or anything that isn't a vendor that scares me just a little bit...haha.

But seriously, the food thing is ridiculous. I ended up paying $15 for dinner tonight...american. That's a lot at home, and patently ridiculous here.

I need to figure out where restaurants stay open later.
