Sick

I think I must have food poisoning. I started puking last night around 1:00 and was up many times. This is the worst I’ve ever felt with any kind of stomach illness. We ate both lunch and dinner at the guest house, so I can only think it must be from that. Especially since in the middle of dinner I walked by the tiny “kitchen” in the back and saw two people squatting barefoot peeling garlic onto the bare floor. Dave is fine, thank goodness.

At about 11, Dave rode down the main road and found another guest house with cleaner, a/c rooms (we’re in a fan room with mosquito netting) for about a buck more so we decide to move. I barely made the 1 km ride to the new place but it was worth it. I spent the rest of the day sleeping and visiting the bathroom, waking only now and then when Dave would remind me to drink water or juice.

Obviously I cannot recommend our first guest house, the Xok Xai. Not only was the restaurant bad, but the rooms were over-priced considering the new room we got was far better yet only 10,000 kip more, about US$1.20.
