basic everyday life in cambodia




My house!My bike--random Merida brand and all
My backyard--these are all fruit or vegetable plants...mmm
The outside cooking area where all the magic happens

The table/bed where we sit to eat, as well as the inside-cooking area where things are stored when we're not home or asleep
The under-the-house hammock area for afternoon naps
My washing machine!
My dryer!

Some of our basins that catch rainwater for all our water needsThe stairs to the upstairs part of the house


Right when you get up to the upstairs, we have another hammock on the porch
The little side-porch area


My mom's room (left) and the curtain into my room (right). We can talk to each other from our beds!
Peeping into my room

A closer view of my roomThe view from my window


My sarongs, all laid out on my bed




The basin from which we get water to rinse off after using the bathroom
Squatty-potty!
The basin from which we get water for showering (it comes from rain through a pipe from the roof)

more photos!

This is a photo of me with some of the students I teach from when we were swimming at the water hole!
Some water buffalo. There are a TON of them in my town.
I tried to get into a photo with a baby water buffalo, but she was totally freaked out. I'm still kindaaaa in the photo with her!
This is from one of our language lessons. These are some of the feet of some of the other trainees.
Another picture from the water hole!
This is my house. It turns out the only people in it are my mom and I; the 'aunt' and her grandson are actually from Phnom Penh, and they went back last week!
This is from my district town---there's a crazy restaurant here with crocodiles in the back where you can go look at them. But then you have to pay them half a quarter.
