Now we are three

My daughter and her friend from Seattle arrived yesterday for a few weeks visit - which meant giving up the air conditioned bedroom - ever the good host - fan sleeping I am not a fan - but will survive. Da has taken off with the two of them to go get their hair washed styled and cut - now it is pouring with rain - hopefully they dont get caught on the back of a moto in the rain. I had my first Cambodian haircut on Monday - is it really two months since I got my hair cut in Seattle? I was of course an object of great interest as I sat in the chair - of course first problem was that the guy could not reach my head - much slumping down and all was well - cut was all scissors and very carefully performed - my only complaint was that he really didnt take off enough and didnt thin it enough on the top - a constant problem wherever I et my hair cut - but for $2 for about 30 minutes work I could not complain - I was charged the premium "foreigner" rate - for a Khmer it would have been $1.
