New Camera

Well, I went out today to see about getting a camera I have fixed. I was going to put off getting a camera until after I get to Korea, since they are generally cheaper there. I decided to get it now though so I can take pics as I am leaving the airport, a few with me and Mary, and finally pictures of me in the country sooner rather than later.

When I got to the store, they said it would be between 100-150 dollars to fix and I paid 100 for it. I find it fascinating that it is more expensive to fix a digital camera than to buy one. In any case I bought one that was 140 and chargeable batteries that are meant for cameras.

One thing that I will not miss about the USA is that the bus system here sucks. I spent an entire day trying to do a 15 minute thing. I got to Kroger where the bus picks you up. The first bus did not show up on time and it was the wrong bus, and the right one did not show up for an hour later. Then when I bought the camera I went out to eat and then waited 30 minutes just for it to be late and the wrong bus and had to wait another hour for the right bus. In any case, only about 21 days until I head over to Korea.
