1.Decorating your room.

If you cannot afford to buy nice decorations for your room, don’t worry. There is a very easy solution that will cost you nothing and will make you feel right at home while still fitting into your local culture.

First, find an old Ethernet cable that is not currently in use. The reason for using the cable is that it is generally colorful and with its many filaments it is really sturdy and can generally stand a lot of weight.

Next, spend about three hours figuring out where to hang the wire. You may have to go through a number of trial and errors. One possible option you will find is to thread the cable through the empty curtain rings lining your window and tie a knot at both ends. Hook one end onto the corner of the windowframe and the other to a nail sticking out of the wall at the opposite end of the room creating a pulley system.

Then wash your dirty clothes so as to add a homely, soapy smell to the room and hang the wet cloths on the cable. If you find that it is not tight enough and that all your cloths clump at the center of the cable, use little pieces of malleable wire and wrap them around the Ethernet cable at even intervals. You can find these little wires by going to the local store and buying hangers. (They hold the hangers together), or dig down deep into your electronics bag.

To add the finishing touches, open the window and the door to create an airflow that will make the cloths flutter mimicking either silent wind chimes or prayers flags, depending on your preference.

2.Taking care of your skin.

If you are finding that the hot, humid weather is causing your facial skin to break out, don’t fret! Here is one way of taming those coagulant pests without spending a weeks salary on beauty products.

First, wash your face with either regular soap or hand soap (if the latter is not available) two to three times a day. Make sure to use your wet, musty hand towel to whip your face.

At night, before going to bed, wash once again vigorously. Then apply a generous amount of toothpaste to the heavily pimpled areas. Once your feel your skin start to burn with minty freshness, then slap on pieces of toilet paper. This will prevent your pillow from getting all sticky and will continue to absorb the perspiration until you learn how to use the air conditioner. If need be, use tape to make sure the paper sticks to your face properly. The end result should look like a mummified facemask with paper.
As a side note, make sure to puncture air holes for the mouth and nose.
