A wet season descends on the city,and the temperature drops dramatically in a few days. The approach of winter seems to have come much sooner than last year, when I had only been here a week by this time and the temperature was still quite warm. I spend my time teaching, planning and working on my own projects: (when I am not in meetings and engaged in office tasks) such as planning excursions, finding materials for arts projects and struggling with the sporadic Internet access we have! These include new paintings, some more photography such as you see here and getting to know the local people a little better.
On Scrap Street I have the odd beer and take a few photos, but I am beginning to feel I should perhaps do a little drawing as I seem to have neglected my sketchbook. On the other hand things seem to move at a slow pace even though I spend so much energy getting things done: I feel I'm often running to stand still.
Days of heavy rain shut down many of the street stalls.
I find this very small one run by a Chinese family (most of these are family concerns) where I am able to hide when I feel like being by myself!
I seem to eat at home more often and hope to have some more dinner guests soon!
