Soap and the 3 T´s

Before leaving the house make sure you have the following:
Soap-because none of the bathrooms have it. It doesn´t make it into the budget here, so I just carry a little bottle with me everywhere...which leads me to my first T...
Toilet paper-also not important enough to make it into the University budget. Always put a wad in your pocket before heading out the door.
Toothbrush-Oral hygiene is very important here. As my friend told me, I have a toothbrush in my car, in the shower and in my backpack. Amazing. I always see people brushing their teeth in the bathroom.
Textmessaging-You always try to avoid talking to someone in person here. First send a textmessage. It is super cheap, and you can do it wherever you are, waiting for the bus, in class when you are bored, in the car, on the plane, when you are sad, when you are mad...
