insomnia

not alot to tell today. things have settled down and a routine emerging.
ive been feeling very stretched this week.
the last 5 nights i havent slept hardly at all. so ive become part human part zombie. im told this is the coolest time of the year...
imagine the hotest day of the year in england. multiply by 3 then imagine that is the coolest day of the year in cambodia. i know i have a reputation for over exaggerating but this is no joke...

bad start to the season for spurs. i havent been back to FCC yet but am fully intending on going soon. i hope i can catch some of the football there.

my language is getting better. i can say 1-29 in khmer. once you know 1,2,3,4,5 then 10. its just a matter of saying. 5+1=6. so once you know all the multiples of 10 and 100. you can say any number from 1 to a million.
the problem is everyone talks so fast even if you know the numbers its impossible to understand anything.

stayed up late watching lord of the rings yesterday. its is nice to step into a fantasy world for a few hours. let your mind switch off. plus being up late did help me sleep.
the smiths dont have any cable...but they do have alot of films.

ive gottern to know maysien a bit more recently. she does all the house work and alot of the cooking at the smiths. we went to the market together on wednesday which was good. but i think she had to pay extra for everything because i was with her. it is facinating to see their world, the things that are normal and acceptable in their culture that would be considered breaking the law in most werstern cultures. also seeing the strongholds in their lives, the things that cause their attitudes.

i think ive adjusted well. heidi spent 3 hours on the phone on her first day here.

it seems i did have alot to say today in the end. like i said before ive become a keen blogger
