You know you are having a struggle with the culture when you find yourself coming up with a strategic plan for taking out the trash...I mean, maybe this is totally silly of me, but it goes against any OK feeling I have, knowing that when I toss my trash into the sort of trash cement thingy, that first the people in the neighborhood are going to dig through it, then the cows and the dogs to follow...and as a result the people will take some of my trash home, then the rest will be strewn across the ground surrounding the almost trash cement thingy....

Should I have a personal attatchment to my trash?? NO, but I do! I don't want people digging through my trash...nor do I want to feel as though I have to be aware of EVERYTHING I throw away b/c not only will people be digging through it and seeing it, it will soon be strewn along the road for every passer by to see...UGH!

So tonight I decided would be "covert take the trash out night". I planned that if I took it out at night, not as many people would see me, and thusly less of my trash would be touched, eaten, spread all over the neighborhood....

Was my covert plan a success? Check out this photo (I know it is kind of dark) that I took just moments after I got back to my flat from the supposed to be a trash bin cement thingy....

I am disturbed by having to take my trash out...I think I need to call member care....
