Visa Issues
At the airport, my Non-Imigrant Student Visa is supposed to last for 90 days. However, at the airport mine was stamped to expire in 29 days. In my near delirious state jet lag and exhaustion I failed to scrutinize the blurry stamp. On monday, I went to the university to find the international office and get help. It took me a long time to find the office because people kept telling me the wrong place. They did not do this maliciously, but actually benevolently. They wanted to help me, so rather than provide no information they provide incorrect information. I finally got help and was advised to take a taxi to the immigration office, but once there the receptionist explained that I could not be helped and to return to my university for more guidance. Back I went. The next attempt at immigration will be on Thursday. Hopefully I can get the student visa fixed as well as get a multiple re-entry stamp so that I can travel to Nepal, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, etc.

Sleeping
1.) Being 12 hours ahead has been difficult jet lag to overcome. I am definitely getting closer to normal, but I am still waking up much earlier than I would like.
2.) The neighborhood dogs that roam freely in the streets get into barking matches with one another and with the dogs at the house next door to my window. This makes falling asleep difficult. There is also an airport near-by so large planes land frequently and their decent brings them fairly close to our neighborhood.

Digestive Health
My body is slowly getting used to my mainly soft food diet which consists of eggs and toast in the morning, and rice or noodles with vegetables, eggs, and chicken. My water consumption is also up. Nevertheless, some stomach discomfort has been common.
