#148. Downloading new music to your iPod can make a long day of uncomfortable sitting at work far more enjoyable.

My personal recommendations/purchases for the day:

The hygiene aspect involves holding a small bucket of water over your head, attempting to accomplish the goal of leaving the bathroom feeling freer of dirt and residue than when you entered… This generally works. That is until you step out of the bathroom and walk a few steps, acquiring a brand new layer of dirt and dust. It’s an unbreakable cycle. This makes the idea of coming home to a shower (and perhaps this is very un-missionary-like of me to admit) after 5 days that much more wonderfully appealing. Warm water that involves no scooping or dumping. Clean feet. Not having to be concerned with quickness in case a line of people has formed outside the door. After a 6 hour drive back to Phnom Penh on Saturday, I arrived home wit...
