2008-09-20 - Digs

After hassling the people at the guesthouse a bit, I’ve been able to move into Matt and Liane’s room. I was in 304, which is 2nd floor at the back, so you only see rooftops from the balcony. They were in and I am now in 202, which has a balcony overlooking the street, which is much more interesting. The rooms are otherwise pretty much the same, although 202 doesn’t have a pillar right behind the front door, so less things to walk into after a night across the road at Liquid. Moved as soon as I got back from CARE on Friday afternoon, and they were already showing people through 304 as I was moving out, so I guess it’s a popular place.



Kitchen - gas bottle for stove is under bench



Room between kitchen and bedroom - dining room I guess


Bathroom


Something of curiosity is the shower – you get a composite hot/cold flow through one shower head, with the hot water heated in “real time” by an electric thingo on the wall, which also acts as a tap (on or off only). There is a second showerhead connected to a regular tap for cold water only, and that same tap has a second tap head that you turn to get water out of a tap spout. Finally, next to the toilet is a trigger hose that apparently is used in place of toilet paper, if you get my drift. It is good for washing your feet and cleaning the floor too.
