Visuals!

My former bed. As you can see, I was sleeping on the roof under a rather femme mosquito net.

This is a view of my town from the roof of my former house. In the foreground you can see the building-materials business my former neighbors have, in the middle ground is National Highway 5, and in the background are houses, shops, and trees that line the road to the south of the town market.

This is my new house! My family sells gas, cigarettes, drinks, ramen noodles, soap, sugar, hats, and candy. You can sort of see my bad-ass mountain bike in this picture. I've mastered riding it in an ankle-length skirt. My host sister is in white, and the neighbors are sitting at the table.
