But if it makes you feel any better, by the looks of your picture, your guest house accomodations appear to be cleaner than anyplace I stayed in India or Ghana (well, except for the night I crashed in the 5 star hotel in India with the expat that worked for Goldman Sachs...). And I'm impressed that the towel they provided you even *looked* clean. do you have hot water? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's sounds like you're doing really well with adjusting to your new surroundings (you may not feel like you're doing well, but by my standards you are--and aren't my standards really all that matters?).jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394915929342936530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-41388292886868971752008-08-14T15:42:00.000-07:002008-08-14T15:42:00.000-07:00It sounds like they have a lot of shops there.

I've heard that a lot of bathrooms in Japan are like that. They are installed as single "units" where the walls and floors and fixtures and everything are all attached. Not sure if that's how yours is though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-9876139614815796832008-08-14T08:24:00.000-07:002008-08-14T08:24:00.000-07:00Good luck with your new guest house search.

It's nice to have a sprayer on a hose, but the mounting bracket isn't much use.<BR/><BR/>I'm really enjoying reading about your move to Thailand. It's a place I will probably never be able to travel to, so it's nice to hear about it from your point of view.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15360686393599560866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-11866575312140599902008-08-14T06:32:00.000-07:002008-08-14T06:32:00.000-07:00you can just shower and use the toilet at the same...you can just shower and use the toilet at the same time! two birds, one stone, etc. <BR/><BR/>it sounds like you're adjusting pretty well.dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06769697352301199658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-67427347645861322922008-08-13T23:09:00.000-07:002008-08-13T23:09:00.000-07:00Good luck on the staying dry thing...

I'm glad you found sunscreen, I was concerned for you. <BR/><BR/>It's so strange, we've never met in person but I feel, oddly proud of you like this is somehow also my accomplishment or a Knitty accomplishment. Is that strange? In any case I admire you for your tenacity and bravery. I'm looking forward to reading all about your amazing adventure.Kashmir Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986831549467594832noreply@blogger.com
