I have to make some adjustments if I'm to live in Oz. I thought one of the first things I needed to do is to make sure everything is legal. Yesterday I went to the Bureau of Magic; the only thing they gave me was a visitor pass.

I did not know this until I got here; Oz does not use the same calendar we use. They use a completely different system.

In some ways, Oz is behind us in technology. Though they have flat screens, most televisions and computers use the old crystal ball display. All phones still use the crystal ball display making them bulkier than the cell phones we are familiar with. My cell phone is not compatible. If I want to stay connected, I have to get a new phone.
