CULTURAL OBSERVATIONS
One thing I love about my life here is having ‘servants’. Full time cook, housekeeper etc. I have no car, and it costs less than a cheap car payment. But they are never really comfortable around you. I just treat them like family. But they’re always nervous. Very strange culture here. In the states, it’s more like it was in our medieval history: you know, you send your kids to work for the cousins across town who need help with the kids or with the farm or something. And you’re sort of family who gets paid a bit plus room and board (mostly just you get fed). Not the same here. Serfdom.
