Internet, you're killing me

Schedule of third world horrors:

Obvious prostitution: weekly

Street intravenous drug use: twice a week

Naked children + garbage: 3 times/week

Evidence of families living in squalor/public/on a construction site: 3-4 times/week

Very public urination: daily to hourly

Foreigner co-workers celebrate cheapness/freedom of their lifestyle: daily

Kept awake by barking dogs and/or construction: nightly

Heat, intense sun, and no relief: hourly

Tortured by slow and/or broken internet connection: every other minute

Oh, it's not all that bad. I thought hey, I haven't written much about the fact that I currently live in the poorest country in SE Asia so I'd share some slice of life details. Also I'm overtired (see dogs, heat). When your valium won't even put you to sleep you're in trouble.
