I guess some of you may have wondered as some time what our living conditions are like in Cambodia. Well they are reasonable. We live in a tall narrow town house (called a ptaya lavan in Khmai), the bottom floor hosts a kitchen, toilet(which just fits a washing machine) and a loungeroom. Here are a couple of pics.
Kitchen
We cook on a gas two burner stove, have a small electric oven and use 'ant' cupboards for our food and for our silverware and china (hmmm I mean cutlery and plates).
Our kitchen is larger than most I have seen in other similar dwellings.
Loungeroom
Most of our furniture is cane, which I am not overly fond of,
(but which I have grown to appreciate because it is a renewable source).
It may look modest to you, or maybe it looks flash, however compared to the neighbours who run the recyling depo and live in a two room house, it is luxury.
We thank God for a comfortable place to live!
