The Great Indoors

Living here in the Orange House is a lot like camping.

• We sleep on mats on the ground.
• We have to get dressed and put on shoes to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.
• The toilets here are the squat kind.
• The communal showers are coin operated.
• If we want hot water, we have to heat it on what basically amounts to a camp stove.
• We're covered in mosquito bites.
• We can hear our neighbours as well as if they were in the next tent.

But so far we haven't built any campfires, roasted any wieners or gone on any hikes. Maybe tomorrow.
