Yes, it's true! I have a job! It's six whole hours a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 to 8:30. We can call this part-time job #1, and the job hunt will continue (at an equally leisurely pace) until I have a full-time schedule (and yes, "full-time" is a relative term).
Aside from that, there's nothing much going on. I'm extending my visa today, which means I've almost been her a month. I'm also picking up my ID badge from the university (Pannasastra), and probably opening a bank account. It's giving me that wonderful feeling of residing here, getting settled. I've also been riding a bicycle around. So, in summation, the things that make me feel like I live here and I'm not still traveling: apartment, job, renewed visa, transportation, job, local phone number, friends. Also, the parking guy at Top Banana recognizes me. It's important to have a bar you go to too often, right?
Also, I've discovered hashing. http://www.p2h3.com/ It's basically jogging, with the added bonus of false trails and no shade. Also, after you're supposed to drink beer for various reasons. If you explain that you can't drink beer ("on medication"), they make you chug a strawberry Fanta. It's probably worse. The course was about 10 kilometers (6 miles), but when you factor in getting lost it's about 1-2 km longer. If you're not sleeping well, that should help. Also, you get to ride to the course (usually just outside of town) on the back of a flatbed truck with 20-30 other hashers, Cambodian style. I highly recommend it as part of the Cambodian experience.
Okay, I'm off to run errands, like an adult! Bye!
