The good thing about our modern era is that technology like Google Street View lets me be places where I otherwise cannot be. Or at least lets me feel like I am there. Here is where I actually am (though picture is three years outdated, and the building is now yellow and sans graffiti and there’s snow on the ground):

Relatedly, I hear it’s creepily warm in the States. Rest assured, it is normal February freezing temperatures here. I am off now to open a bank account and buy a prepaid phone.
WORD TO THE WISE: even if you’re off contract and successfully manage to jailbreak your 5.0.1 iphone, it will NOT unlock even with ultrasn0w and Sam configured if your model firmware is 05.16.05. So don’t waste three days trying to do it! Ugh.
