This is the kind of thing that happens on the day to day here at chai lai.
Trying to write an article, the Internet went down, so I wandered over to the office to switch the router off and on. When I got there I saw that Bay was about to re-dress the hole in his foot (bay had a tumour in his foot and he was scared of going to hospital to get it taken out because he's a Burmese refugee and previous medical procedures had not been anaesthetised. So he tried to cut out the tumour himself with an unsterilised pair of blunt scissors from a sewing kit,and by the time we caught him had done some serious damage and we had to whisk him off to have an operation straight away. So now he has a big hole in his foot, about 2cm diameter and 1.5cm deep.) I took over because I knew he wouldnt sanitise anything properly and then one of our guests came over (super hot and shirtless into the bargain) and told me he was a nurse. So I asked him to show me how to do a really good job of dressing Bay's foot. Then Bay drifted off and this nineteen year old girl who is living at Chai Lai because her husband abandoned her because her baby isn't his came over and someone handed me her jaundiced little baby. And we cooed over it and Alexa came over and freaked out about how confident I was holding the baby because she is pregnant with bay's baby and is scared she's not going to be a good mum. And then the baby peed on me so I had to walk up the hill to my hut to go and change my clothes. And then on the way back I took a selfie with one of the trainees and went into the kitchen where one t of the volunteers was trying to make a mango pie. Then finally I went back to the office and tried to continue with my article and realised that I hadn't switched the router off and on which is what I'd left to do in the first place.
