The second half of my birthday

[robyn_migratori]

So after I wrote my last post we went out for Mexican food and then went to a bar here that is rapidly becoming our Cheers or McLaren's. The bartenders gave me a drink with a sparkler in it and Scott was thoroughly trounced at chess by a computer engineer from Israel. When we went back to our bungalow around midnight we found it had been broken

Man, that sucks. Could definitely be worse, but still, that's a lot to replace. Hope the process is as smooth as possible.

You seem very calm, though. "Fairly crummy"? That sounds like my rather proper mother describing a situation. :)

Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I am so terrified of theft. It's just so awful. Especially now that I have a laptop. My computer is my life. YOU COULD JUST UP AND STEAL MY LIFE. I'm glad they left your passports so you can get home properly.

Happy birthday.

That's awful. I'm so sorry you had such a crappy end to your birthday. I don't know if it's even possible to file an insurance claim on items stolen when you're living abroad, but if it is, I hope you can to help replace some of what you lost. I would be beside myself if someone stole my laptop.

Fuck, that really sucks. I'm sorry :(

Ughhhhhh such a violation. I am SO sorry.

But yes, SO glad that they didn't take your ID. I can't imagine having my passport stolen when I am traveling in another country. Worse. Nightmare!
