The return of the swimsuit...

Hello blog reader(s)
For those of you like Katie, who were concerned about my lack of swimwear… fear not the costume hath been discovered (don’t ask me where) and returned to my room ironed (why?) and on a hanger… everyone can now breathe a collective sigh of relief… especially me as the weather is so so so sooooo hot… I know I keep saying this but it really really is… the average temperature of my room (with aircon off) is 35 degrees… and outside its considerably hotter, and the sun burns I tell you… it burns… one of my Khmer colleagues told me today I was going black… this has to be the biggest overstatement ever as from my assessment I am pasty pasty, but with a few more freckles… however here whiteness = beauty, and any slight darkening of the skin is not a good sign apparently, hence the wide availability of bleaching lotions, moisturisers etc
