well

Well…
have you noticed I start most of these blogs with ‘well’… I wonder why?
What is there to write? Possibly lots, new places tend to be a sensory overload and this one is no exception… I’m loving it…

• Cambodia is hot, air-conditioning can be cold…
• Motorbikes criss-cross roads as if they’re in an uncoordinated motorbike display
• Pedestrians don’t cross major roads unless they’re a telf with a death wish
• Food is yummy and gingery and cheap and dominated by rice
• I found a shop which sells venison, kettle chips and champagne… amongst other things…
• Monks wear orange and are often bald
• The ‘Star’ movie channel is entertaining when you don’t know anyone
• At work there is a room full of cushions for sleeping on… random
• Mosquitoes like me very much. grrrrrrrrrrrr
• There are so many things to be bought… beautiful beautiful silks and woven mats…
• Purple flowers and lush palms are everywhere
• The US embassy is a fort, but whoever lives opposite it makes it look like a slum…
• I spent $25 on imported fruit and juice and cheese and oats and batteries and milk and other junk… that’s nearly 50% of the annual income of a farmer in rural Cambodge… hmm something to think about really…
