January 2011

Guest house owner said to me "Don't put meat by the statue of budha"

Later asked me "which shop was it?" when I told her a shop keeper told me the tuk tuk drivers were charging too much.

What if truth was more important to you than to others around you?
What if you didn't know who to believe?

Not sure what I can and can't do.
Not sure who to believe.

Sadness... from loss of trust

She needs money.

She has two washing machines but she doesn't use them. Instead she makes me wash the clothes to save electricity.

They charge 500 rupees for some bread and papaya juice.
You can each much better for 200 rupees in town.

If I sit in the living room, I am afraid the servant will start to talk to me. I am afraid she is setting me up to ask me for money. (like the guy in indonesia with his "sister")

Today she said she wants to leave the country, but she needs help. She told me she can see that I am a good person.

She said the owner doesn't want her to talk to the guests, but she likes to talk and she feels better when she does.

She is setting up some kind of secrecy between us. I know now she is afraid of the owner. She says, "Here she comes" and hurries away.

Owner asked if I wanted breakfast. I felt guilty and afraid to say no. Afraid she will accuse the servant of telling me that breakfast was expensive.

The first morning the servant was outside my window and started talking to me. I felt a little invaded.

I want to close the curtains now. But it will be too dark. If I turn on the lights the owner might say please don't use the lights during the day. Just open the curtains. But I wouldn't want to tell her why I don't want to open the curtains.

This is only the second morning. I am afraid of more things each day, nearly each time I leave the room.

House shot up with bullet holes - A very nice man and his father let us put our tents there. It hurts me to think that people who didn't even know this family was shooting at them... only because of their religion....

One hotel we stayed in was so cheap and crappy we could tell the sheets had not been washed. So we put the tent on top of the bed. I can't remember why we put the sheet on the side.. (Not all hotels were this bad, btw)
