One reason I'm glad I switched positions

I left my old position and have been an instructor for the past 4 months.  I really enjoy traveling and seeing new parts of the world and I got the chance to see a few different places in Russia.  It had been a great experience but had I continued in that same position I wouldn't have seen new places, it would have been the same towns/locations over and over again.  So, with this change I was happy to give up the travel and settle into something resembling a 'life'.

My least favorite place was a town called Pyt-Yakh and it happened to be the place I traveled to most often.  The town itself is fine, it's a work town, but the geographical area of it made it the unfortunate recipient of some of the worst quality water I've had to deal with.

I'm glad I didn't spend enough time there to find this out but I've been told that after living there for a while you might notice your fingernails turning yellowish and, if you happen to brush your teeth with it, it'll show there as well.   There's also an associated smell that goes with the color so those who think they can manage it with their eyes closed might still find it hard.
