After I got back from the bike ride, I stopped off at Arjun’s, and met up with David, a guy from south Africa who has just spent the last year teaching English in Korea. He moved out of Arjun’s and we ended up sharing a room for a night. While we were walking around looking for something to do, we ran into Grant, a guy I met in Laos, and who shared the plane ride here with me. We ended up following him to a friends house that is very near Arjun. The house is part of Volunteer Abroad , a long term volunteer program. We are now staying here with the people who are volunteering, and I am paying $8 a day for a nice room, hot water, and three meals provided. Incredible. It is a house share, so we all take turns doing the dishes, cleaning the house, etc…
The house has wi-fi and is truly amazing. Five floors, two hang out rooms and a kitchen, a two level roof balcony, and a ton of books and movies. I am in heaven. I have been spending my days helping Arjun with his site and getting some stuff taken care of online.
