Home sweet home

The standard of accommodation was probably the thing that worried me most before this placement, and was probably the most debated in the office and at home before I left.  I'll be fair, I'm not one for roughing it or particularly outdoors-y, my back packing days are behind me but that was part of the challenge in coming here and I was ready (ish) for whatever was coming my way!


Well I think I've won the accommodation lottery! An ensuite room with flushing toilet, filtered drinking water and lockable space - they really have gone to the trouble to cater for western visitors.  It might sound rather extravagant but as I'm without these things when out and about during the day, it does make things a bit more comfortable knowing you're coming home to a clean, safe, good night's sleep.



Our accommodation is a guest house in the grounds of an american funded hospital who have many visiting doctors and nurses from all over the world - e.g. current housemates include photographer Chris from Hawaii and Joyce a trainee doctor from Lebanon - so they've provided a higher standard than I think I could have expected elsewhere.
