Everything is kept very simple and only with a fan. But I found the accommodation to be okay. It was clean and I had a big bed to myself. What more could you want? Even the ants on the floor and sometimes in the bed are now ignored or flicked away and that's fine.

Children everywhere, always fascinated by foreigners and saying hello. They have joy on their faces. Unbelievable. It's nice to greet them back with hello in the local language and let their smiles infect you.
