the office

the office is in the centre of town and the hospital is on the outskirts about 4km away, spending most of the time in town at the moment preparing the curriculum. When we need to head to the hospital I either cycle (arrive dripping - it's 50% humidity), go by tuktuk (have to wake the driver - he enjoys a snooze between trips), golf buggy (cheapest option - we are a charity, wish he'd take us to the clubhouse!) or on the back of Somlith's motorbike (my favourite - speedy, exciting and scary, am holding on). We share the building with other organisations, I like popping into the tradition Lao medicine shop, their teas and chilies are a panacea, getting use to the communal toilets, can I entice any volunteers!? When peckish I pop out for some fruit, would prefer chocolate but you need to make the most of what's on offer, a branch of rococo arrives soon !! Should get my official work permit soon
