Guess where am I now

Girl selling bread at the bus station. There are many monks in Battambang. They go around collecting "DIVINE" protection money every morning from the shop keepers.

One of the six urns in Prema's house
Candle maker



I am sitting infront of my computer, the fan is blowing directly on me, I shower with hot and clean(not sure if clean or not) water, watching TV till 4am in the morning and best of all, I can read while doing my business !! take a wild guess.. where am I ?

Well, I learn something while I am in Battambang...ie.. appreciation for life, every simple thing can make me so happy. Simple things like raining; stop raining; bathing with water from the river and smiles from the children, they may be dirty but they have the same sweet smiles as my grandchildren. Now I know why Prema has decided to stay on for good.

Mmmmm and that bread looks yummy.

Nice message Grace. We are such consumers these days. Enough is never enough. Gaia is always asking to go to Billa. (supermarket) She climbs all over the ice cream cooler and loves filling her basket. Now she has a new toy, she loves it. Its a plastic supermarket cashier with a scanner, a rolling table and scales. Oh and a calculator, at least it has something a bit beneficial. She simply being trained as a consumer.
