My only connection with the outside world is reading the Phnom Penh Post which contains stories that are important to me. This is where I can get specific information on local events, Cambodian holidays, and read crazy stories that make my own life seem rather ordinary. For instance, I just read an article about a man who arrived home from work to find that his wife hadn't finished cooking his dinner yet because she took their daughter to the hospital. He got so mad that he set his house on fire and ran away. Now, that's great journalism.
So, no. I have no idea what has been going on beyond the confines of my tiny country. My life consists of more pressing issues like: How do I get this giant lizard out of my apartment? Can I make it to the market and back before it starts pouring rain? Do I have enough toilet paper for the rest of the week?
Don't think about how to remove the giant lizard from your apartment, but how the giant lizard is keeping the bugs out of your apartment. What a beautiful lizard.
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful lizard, but my apartment is already like Wild Kingdom, so I have to draw the line somewhere. I have plenty of geckos and spiders who are good exterminators. If I need backup, then I call upon my "shoe of death."
