Electricity - part 3

Remember that i said in the last post that Sandra told me not to mention that we had 24 hours of electricity. Call it superstition but apparently the around the time i wrote it, the power was disconnected again. We only got it back at around 8 in the evening (1,5 hours after it was completely dark!). And this morning it was switched off again...... So the saga continues!

Our landlady (who is also our neighbour) told me yesterday that she lived in Japan for a short while (her husband is Japanese) but she couldn't live there. She loved the fact that they had power all the time. And she loved the Onsen (hot springs but she couldn't get used to the cold.... Sandra thinks that she and Kyaw Kyaw should talk about that some time. Kyaw Kyaw keeps saying that he can handle the cold. Because he has been to Kalaw a few times where it was around 15 degrees celsius which he figures is very very cold. Even yesterday night he asked Sandra whether it was as cold in her country as it was in the bedroom at that time ( the aircon has 3 temperatures: a little cold, colder and OFF). She said that it could be much colder in the Netherlands. Kyaw Kyaw reacted by crawling deeper under the blanket (mind, the temperature is such that Sandra sleeps only under a sheet, no blanket necessary).

It was nice that our landlady dropped by (the guards from downstairs needed to do some maintenance in our apartment and she came along) since it turned out that she still had a baby bed. And we could borrow it (Xenne is outgrowing the camping bed fast. The other day he had almost managed to put his legs over the edge...). It is a little bit dusty since it hasn't been used these past 5 years but with a bit of cleaning it wil be as good as new. Brilliant since Sandra had already gone to the shopping mall yesterday to look for a baby bed but the mall was still closed for Thingyan. And this bed is big enough for Xenne and me. In the camping bed i found i got pushed away a bit too much for my liking.... It'll be handy though when we'll all go to Thailand early May. Sandra's parents come over for a 2 week holiday. And thankfully they do have electricity ALL THE TIME in Thailand (part of which is provided by Burma, don't get Sandra started on that...)
