A moped, and some history.

Well today I broke down and bought a little motorcycle. $200 US isn't bad, and I'm told I'll have no problem selling it upon my departure for a comparable price - if not more. It's a 50 horsepower Honda half-moped half-dirtbike thing. Not very fast, but It'll get me around and (for the most part) will eliminate the chances of me overspending on my local travels and errands.

However, obtaining the money to pay the Norweigen girl for the bike was a different story. In my infinite wisdom, I apparently lost my cashcard on Saturday night (no fradulent charges, though!). I had to sway my landlord into fronting me some cash in exchange for money "wired" via PayPal. It worked out fine, but I know he won't want to coninue such shenanigans, and will have to figure out an alternate means of obtaining my much sought pesos.

Anywho, I've no idea who of you reading this even know what kiteboarding is. If you do, stop reading now. Otherwise you're stuck with me for at least another paragraph, and maybe some pictures.

Kiteboarding is like ... windsurfing + wakeboarding + parasailing - boats. Simple! You tie yourself to a really big kite, strap a board that floats to your feet and find some water on a windy day. The results are addicting. You can see me doing such activity here.
