Tryin' but it is tryin'

For the last couple of weeks my friend who had helped out on the project has been away, so I am on my own. This would not be so bad, but I do not speak Burmese which is needed at the site or Thai which is needed at the shops and on the phone. I have friends to translate over the phone (which is a challenge), but they can be hard to reach sometimes so I try to get my points across with the workers and, luckily, they seem to get it most of the time. It is really tough some days.
