At the top of my lungs...

there's a fine collection of dust and moto exhaust. After spending two days in the field last week (which involve spending 6-7 hours on the back of a motorcycle on dusty roads) I came down with a sore throat that quickly became very sore lungs and my trademark hacking cough. So I've been laying low, puffing on an inhaler and taking the various tablets my co-workers have been pushing on me.

I found an apartment and signed the lease yesterday. A six month lease. I don't know if I will actually stay that long, but trying to explain in Khmer was not going to happen so I gave in.

I posted a few more journal updates:

• Srey-em Soy, grocery store
• Vuy Brak, fishing
• Chanthorn Chhoun, rice farming, moto transport
• Rin Oem, noodle seller
• Lai Khun, rice sales
