USPS curiosity

So after 7 days of psychological preparation I'm ready to deal with the post office.

So while doing researching to find how much will cost me to send my half ton of books, I stumble upon this:

Country Conditions for Mailing — Spain

(Includes Canary Islands)

Prohibitions (130)

Arms; ammunition; weapons; parts and components of weapons; and other related equipment.

Coins; banknotes; currency notes (paper money); traveler’s checks; securities payable to bearer; platinum, gold or silver, manufactured or not; precious stones; jewelry; and other valuable articles except in insured Priority Mail International parcels.

Foodstuffs containing saccharine in any amount.

Human remains.

Did you noticed it!!!!

PLAYING CARDS ARE PROHIBITED!!! WTF!!!

But the funny part is, Playing cards come first then a less dangerous thing...you know like RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL!!

So what happens if I bring playing cards, would I disrupt some kind of Playing card Ecological balance!!! First thing I will do in Spain is investigate this, and yes I WILL BRING PLAYING CARD!!

Step 1: Have the last Party with Veronica

So after I accepted my faith with my green card, I began the process of planing my move

First thing came to my mind is, SHIT I will not be close to my best friend!!, so I will have to make plans to visit her in New York and Party hard with her.

So I spent a whole week with Vero in New York. I'm happy to say that I'm third in the Liver transplant queue, so I have hope. BOY DID I DRANK!

Started with me making Mojitos for me and Vero (Whole Bottle of Rum and.... it does not matter we got really fucked up), then every single day we drank at night. We did some bar hopping, club hopping and just hopping around.

To also add to the healthy vacation we also ate a lot! well balanced meals... you know side of vegetable, protein and grain.. HOT DOG with Sauerkraut, or Ham with Pine Apple Pizza (Boy this one even has Fruit, it is good to eat healthy).

Also this wonderful Vacation package came with lots of site seeing, sun Bathing in the beach, and the very fun oportunity to participate in the Homeless Simulation..... let me explain:
After dancing like maniacs, drinking and talking till the sun was up, I was being nice walking a girl to her home, I told Vero I was going to come back, she said is cool and that I should ring the bell so she can open the door...sadly we both where drunk while making plans, this equates to missing details or BAD IDEAS like depending on two drunk girls to hear the very faint door bell while waiting in a cozy bed with the AC full on in Vero's apartment.

So there I was 7:00 am sleeping with my finger in the 4L button, I still can hear the sound the intercom makes while the button is pressed UGH!....after at least 3 hours (well I dont know my phone died so I had to depend of complex mathematical equations , shadows and observations) some one open the gate to throw the trash, I was a gentleman and held the door for them, said good morning and went inside... great at least I can sleep inside in front of Vero's door, so after an agonizing stair climb (HEY!! Im in shape but when you body is deprived from sleep, shit gets harder) I reached the door, "4L just like the button" I said sarcastically, and "hey look there is a door bell, lets pretend that they will hear it", pushed the button and... "Clung" a very weak metallic sound, it sounded like a baby flicked a metal bell with its soft baby fingers, I barely heard it! FUCK!......... maybe if a Hit the door hard they will hear it, "Thump Thump....weeeeeeeeeee... door opens" THE DOOR IS OPEN, OMG!!! I'M SO LUCKY!!
All I can think was.......BED!

So I fell a sleep next to Vero's and cute Erika and not even thinking how cool it was that I was in a nice Venezuelan sexy sandwich, all I cared was that the bed felt good.

After my ordeal I know next time I will pay to have keys duplicated!

Overall, my time with Vero was GREAT! Looking forward to do this in Spain with her.

Step one is Complete!
