Me. Woke up before 5am to the mosque and to Chinese aerobic music blasting through the wall. Had some stranger call out "Hello Mister" to me on my run just because he wanted to and no one else was around. Gave a quick kiss to Chris who was off on his motorbike to train in the Caravan and fly interior for the day. Picked up curtains (that I had made for our guesthouse) from a taylor at the market. Chatted in the grocery store with strangers in head-coverings about why we live here. Bought 1 1/2 kilos of powered milk for the week. Had a man tell his children more than a couple of times that there were "buleh" (white foreigners) right there!!! Found lettuce for sale! Bought lettuce. Was turned away from a carwash since they don't wash cars in the rain (because the guys working might get sick from the rain). Almost hit a motorbike. Had 7 other men (who weren't afraid of getting sick) wash our car, stare at us and laugh at us. Ate pizza buns for lunch on a bench with my kids. Had to stop the car two times to wait for a parked motorbike to be moved off of the street / out of my way. Enjoyed a cafe latte for only 80 cents.
