Charlotte and I have a home!! We moved into a 3 bedroom apartment this weekend. It's beautiful and we are having tons of fun buying furniture and getting settled in! It's not too far from lots of friends houses and within walking distance of Sovannah mall so it'll be a great location. Long drives to work everyday but hoping to get a moto sometime in November.
This weekend and the next few days have been holidays. A couple days celebrating the king's birthday and coronation day and yesterday marked the beginning of the annual water festival. EVERYONE from the rural provinces come into Phnom Pehn (the population of the city goes from the usual 1.5 million to almost 4 milion!!) and celebrate the end of the rainy season with traditional boat races (the super long ones that hold like 50 men) and tons of other festivities. Its utter chaos down by the river but its fun to go and hang out and people watch. The rural Cambodians who never see white people love to watch us right back:)
The weather is cooling off.....beautiful breezes blow in through our balcony during the day. Pretty soon I'll be able to sleep without a fan and with a blanket!!! I can't wait for jeans that don't stick to your legs and long sleeved shirt days! 25 C no humidity days feel like autumn back at home.
The other day I pasted a guy on a moto carrying a huge metal fan with the front cage part off.....the blades were whipping in the air at full speed.......your face would be no more if you ran into that. One of the most dangerous things I've seen on the roads so far...that is besides the huge metal rods they carry that would easily impail someone if they ran into them. Gotta love Phnom Pehn traffic:)
