Working Today

Worked a lot at the Mango Tree House, (see 'At Work' entry below) today not too much exciting adventures or anything. I will cover some of the basic community living stuff then. There are about 16-20 of us here total at any one time. We live in 2 houses in different parts of town. One is by the Mango Tree House and is called 'Jeffs place', both of these places are about 1 km or so out of town. The other house (where I am living) is called Wah Lin, and is in the center of town. It is really nice to be in town since there are tons of cool bars and clubs that have live music every night. There are also tons of street vendors and food carts out every night so it is a great town to walk around at night in. One of my favorite places is the pancake cart, those things are awesome, see pic...

Given that there are so many of us, we have chores to do around the house. Fortunately we do a week of chores (dishes, cleaning etc) a different chore each day and then we are off for 2 weeks. Pretty easy! Otherwise we have catered lunches and dinners with awesome Thai food and Falang (see 1st post) food once a week. Laundry is picked up and so really there is not too much to have to run around and do!

Don't get to used to your cushy chore schedule mister, you aren't getting off that easy when you come back home. Two weeks off my ass.
