Back where I belong

I've been back in Sri Lanka for about 4 weeks now and it feels like I never left. Returning was like coming home.

I'm renting an apartment now with a kitchen and dining room for the grand sum of 2.50 a day. It's great - I can have tea when I like and I don't have to get up early for breakfast. It will sound really bizarre, but when you've been somewhere like this for a long time having all your meals and drinks in restaurants becomes tiresome.

Downside is that the kitchen was designed with deeewarfs in mind and the worktop only reaches my thighs. Consequently I've had a bad back for 4 weeks!!!! Oh well - can't have everything.

I'm just happy to be back here.
