nonsensical ramblings on geckos and life in general

currently, without twisting my head too much in either direction, I can see 8 geckos stalking insects on our walls. the other day at the travel agency I saw over ten. we have at least one in our home, and I can usually see several on the sides of buildings during our "commute". Ms Cook just saw one poop. I know this because she just exclaimed in the middle of the dining room " I just saw a gecko poop!". I know this seems an inappropriate thing to say in the middle of a restaurant, but we are the only ones here. there are even baby geckos, they're cute.

outside our restaurant there was a parade of sorts earlier today. it was for a joint korean/cambodian exposition. there were drums and dancers and people in costumes with giant heads, the streets were not closed off for this though. so the paraders had to avoid traffic.

we have been told that this is an exceptionally slow year for tourists. we are trying not to take it personally, but I know its because they find me intimidating. you see I have grown to a height of three meters and now weigh over 200 kilograms and most frightening of all have started to use the metric system. I have been known to breath fire in excess of 100degrees celsius.
