Mail me anything and it will cost you a fortune!
I know I sent many of you my address for sending me things...but you'll want to think twice about sending me anything but a card or very small package... So my mom was going to mail me a box of things that I wanted. To send a box it needs to be delivered by a courier...wierd that my university doesn't have a mailing department! A 16 lb box would cost $200!! So she was going to do these flat rate boxes through the post office...but I'm not sure they can be sent to a PO Box. I don't feel comfortable with having things mailed to this flat I'm currently at...last week the whole set of like 12 mailboxes was ripped off the stand and thrown on the sidewalk...I guess it's one of the common things the students do here (like starting things on fire as well...in particular couches! Really, it's university policy that you are expelled if you are associated with a couch fire...it's that common!) So I cut my list of what she's sending me to my statistics book, a couple of long-sleeved shirts and movies (since I have no tv I have to rent movies if I want to watch anything!). Once I move I should be able to have things sent to that flat as I have full intentions to move far away from campus (well, still within biking distance).

Where I come from, couch burning is called "fireworks for jesus" and takes place around Christmas. It's the best time of year to appreciate the flames. Not even joking. No couch is safe at the Holidays.
