is there any way I can get a prepaid SIMcard for in my own phone?
probably. i got one for the 3 weeks i was back. don't let the bastards at phone stores stick you with any kind of plan. ever. make sure to bring a converter for your phone charger though. they'll try to sell you a new phone too. just say to yourself, "Nee, Onno. Nee." and walk out
Is the water level in the toilets as freakishly high as in NYC?
yeah, prolly.
