Day 9: First night at my new place (who turned off the lights?!!)
So I moved in. My Cambodian friend and former colleague in graduate school helped me, by taking me to my place through his car. We had dinner at a Thai restaurant nearby and dropped me off in front of my place. My excitement was gone as soon as a realized that there was a brownout in some of the blocks including where my apartment is. So there goes first night at my place, I thought. I hope it wasn't an omen or something. It was after an hour or so that I got a good look at my place. The good news is that brownouts are not common here. It's summer, and everybody must have been using electric appliances to the max, maybe.
