After four days of turning my single room + bathroom apartment into shreds, I cannot locate my camera charger. I have opened every food container, looked through every piece of clothing, opened every pocket and zipper of my empty luggage, pulled everything off of the few shelves i have, questioned my housegirl over and over and over, and relocated every piece of furniture. It is my conclusion that the charger was removed from my house. Sadly, I had my toilet worked on last week and although I was here... the list of people in my apartment other than myself comes to a total of 3.
I'm just wondering about the day when I inadvertently forget to take the matching camera with me, and that too disappears? I hate packing up my electronics and locking them up everyday. But seriously, the high rate of "misplacement" in this country is shocking. Even people whom I love and adore here will look me straight in the face, with a bright smile and say "no, no, Shae Shae. I don't know what you mean" as I pull the lost item from their pocket. And i'm not kidding. My boss has so many stories and has taught me so many safeguards which has been really helpful. We have an IT guy who has lived all over the world and it seems every week he, my boss, and I are swapping stories of "misplacement". Its a sad reality.
This week I'll go into town and look at the electronics that get hocked on the street. And I'll offer a few shillings for someone else's "misplaced" charger if I can find one compatible. It will make me feel sick inside. But maybe, I'll find my own.
