I decided to try a mystery bag and this herb garden from FabFitFun. The mystery bag included a 110 volt hair straightener, but I live in a 220 volt country. I've been using the water thermos a lot. And there's one of those smelly sponges. Decent, at least.
I finally got Bashkim to Era. He loved it. The owner was very hospitable and we had a wonderful set lunch. I couldn't eat all my portion, so Bashkim and Burim did for me.
