Living Above The Office

Well we've gone and done it now, we've moved in above the office. Last night was our first night. It's OK, but it does mean we have to be on-the-ball about getting up and showered before people start turning up for work. Noi, who cleans the office, came at about 20 past 7 this morning. We only just made that one.

The office is right in the middle of a proper Laos community. No falang to be seen, except these two nutters from Yorkshire. Anyway, who are we to complain, the place is free and at least we can use the computer downstairs to watch films on at night. We have stocked up on VCD's, they only cost 75p to a quid each. So that'll keep us entertained.

We are carrying on with trying to drag the CDEA into the 21st Century. It's slow going, and I think we'll end up doing the majority of our work when the office is closed and everyone has gone home. Not so many distractions, like random English / Lao lessons thrown in at anytime, and we can get onto the computer without hassle.

Anyway, must get on with some work. Still not fully awake, Sam just yawned! Need more coffee, and nicotine. Breakfast would be good, maybe Kay has gone and got us our 'falang baugette' by now. We have a treat tomorrow morning, as Noi is cooking us Sticky Rice for breakfast, we'll look forward to that!
