But we can't bring a car from the US anyway, so we decided that we'll have to hire a driver. Looking at the embassy newsletter it seems that they are not terribly expensive (about $200 a month), so it seems doable. <br /><br />If you find a good wax let me know but in that part of the world threading is quite popular for facial hair, so you should be able to get that done and I bet it wouldn't be very expensive.Daniela Swiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375056786777183752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-55235678553225808712011-08-21T21:26:54.870-04:002011-08-21T21:26:54.870-04:00Awesome!

We drive on the right side of the road/left side of the car here - but it may as well be the moon. A really congested, lawless moon. You just have to buckle yourself in and go for it. Good luck !Brooke S. https://www.blogger.com/profile/12495668558037672507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-89581442972850409152011-08-20T16:37:09.534-04:002011-08-20T16:37:09.534-04:00I bet if you needed more wax if you end up having ...I bet if you needed more wax if you end up having to do it yourself you could buy it online right? i don't know!Anjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851489280189936642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-19711493470301805562011-08-20T15:39:40.705-04:002011-08-20T15:39:40.705-04:00I felt the same way when we went to Bogota and it ...I felt the same way when we went to Bogota and it was actually the same side of the road as the US there. But, regardless I found the time while we waited for the car and the dip plates to be a good time to ride around with other people. By the time our car arrived I felt ready to jump in. Likewise I think you will find that you will become used to the different side. <br />I bet you can hire someone in Sri Lanka. Maybe even a couple of days a week so you can accomplish the basic stuff like the store. <br />I sure hope we cross paths some day because I think you and I worry, I mean plan in the same way! :)<br />Kristen <br />www.Seasonsworthsavoring.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-84740252551882663382011-08-20T14:24:30.314-04:002011-08-20T14:24:30.314-04:00You may want to check on the driver possibility Ca...You may want to check on the driver possibility Camille mentioned. But mostly I wouldn't worry too much about it. We had to drive on the "wrong" side of the road in Trinidad, and it was OK. (We also had our American car with us, though. Is that a possibility for you?)Z.

I'm sure you guys have some sort of racing game, yes? just set up your living room like a car and put yourself in the right seat and practice that way. (okay maybe not the practice you're looking for, but it'd be fun and I bet Jack and Thomas would love it too)<br />I'll have to figure out the kind of wax that works well (it is NOT the one I have now) that's pretty easy to use.jasonandjodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083843925528896970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-46178657167373314352011-08-20T12:41:40.758-04:002011-08-20T12:41:40.758-04:00Is Sri Lanka one of those places where people can ...Is Sri Lanka one of those places where people can afford to get a driver? Because if it is, you're golden.<br /><br />We are bringing a few tubs of wax to Djibouti, and I think I'll just get extra strips and stuff through the pouch if I need them ;)Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213765578108441786noreply@blogger.com
