We're headed to the capital soon so I can catch my flight to the USA, so I decided to give the tuk-tuk a wash before hit the road.
A Chance To Use The New Pressure Washer 🚿
A few months ago on our last trip to Phnom Penh I bought an electric mini pressure washer to help keep the tuk-tuk and motorbike clean. I've used it a few times, but washing the tuk-tuk is not easy because our land is mostly clay, and after the ground gets wet it quickly becomes a muddy mess. I spent the day washing the undercarriage and top, the most difficult parts of the job.
To clean the undercarriage, I lay a few empty rice sacks under the tuk-tuk, put on my latex shower cap and submit myself to the clay. This job absolutely ruins my day, so this is why I usually spend two days washing the tuk-tuk , with the first day spent doing the grunt work, and the second day for the slightly more enjoyable parts of washing the tuk-tuk.
A Surprise Visitor 🫣
While working on this post, I realized I didn't have enough pics, but luckily Nutsara wandered into my room, climbed on the bed and just sit there staring at me and laughing. I don't know who she came to the house or who brought her because I was alone at the computer desk, but hopefully she didn't walk along the highway solo to get here.
She's awfully cute, but I am constantly behind on work with little freetime for myself, so as much as I like entertaining her, I simply don't have time to babysit the neighbors' kids free of charge for hours each day. Unfortunately this is the situation though, we babysit Nutsara and her little brother hours each day so they can run their business more easily. Unfortunately it cuts down on my productivity, and therefore profits, but this is the way of Cambodia. Kindness is weakness here, and most of the time people will take advantage of someone's generosity, and this has left me with only a handful of longterm Khmer friends after living here for 15 years.
Oops, look like the tail end of this post turned into a rant. Sorry for that folks, but no time to regret or rewrite, just gotta publish my stream of consciousness and send it out to the Hive-o-sphere.
