Blogging in Dutch

So I'm back on the internets now, albeit with a short delay to a little military deployment, and when I going in to Blogger to make a new post the whole thing is in Dutch. Weird huh? Well its all because out internet signal is routed through Dutch servers and so they assume that we are Dutch. I've seen the same thing on Myspace.com, but I was able to fix that. This though I'm not sure how to fix. It's kind of tough considering everything is in DUTCH!

Anyways, things are rolling along pretty smoothly here in Fallujah. It's acutally not too bad once you get used to the rythm. It's kind of like living in a small fortified city. I actually feel really safe for the most part, but then again I haven't gone outside the wire, so who knows what will happen. I've seen a sharp increase in the amount of money I have in my bank account thanks to the fact that I'm not spending any money. It's actually pretty easy to get by out here with no cash. All food is provided for us, so the only thing I really spend my money on is bottles of Iced Tea and Red Bull. Inf act I don't even need cash since they have card readers here for our credit cards.


I'm finally getting on track with my schooling. It's been a struggle to catch up, but I'm almost there. By next week I should be at the same level with all my other classmates. I couldn't have done it without the help of my teachers who gave me copius extensions to get my work done. Well I better stop spitting out information because I'm bound to say something secret.
