A Bachelor's Life

Here in Battambang, Bruno and Catalina (volunteers) offered me half of their house. Well ok, so it's a small bedroom and bath, but I get to live in the part of the house near the TV and the kitchen ref - boy, that's paradise for me!

So I get to be a bachelor - wake up (before work time), make my own breakfast (if any), take the motorcyle, go to work (or is it study with the kids?), come back at half past four in the afternoon, look for a cheap place for early dinner, motorbike back home, wash my clothes, pray my breviary, watch the world cup, read a book, and hit the sack... yep, a real bachelor's life.
Well, it's not forever though...
Just got a phone call. They're asking me to pitch in back at DB Phnom Penh for a week, then I can continue with this life.

You've seen the good side. Now for the other. It's raining almost everyday. And the road to Salabalath literacy center is rough (think moon craters), muddy, slippery, and dangerous. That means coming back home soaking wet and hungry. Part of the adventure - no complaints here!
