If I don't have electricity for a couple of nights, big whoop. As long as I have flashlight and some water in a tub to pour over myself and some clean water to brush my teeth. I'm pretty low maintenance but I guess I forget how high maintenance some others are.
So for the past week, we've had some out of town visitors staying in the Guesthouse. I got this annoying/semi-nasty email tonight complaining I'm not meeting their needs because there's no electricity at night and no running water. Stuff like this makes me want to scream. You're in Aceh, suck it up!
What pissed me off more was when I came home tonight, I found my satellite TV box smoking. Literally Smokin'! Apparently there is usually a power surge when the generator gets turned on, and it zapped my TV box! Guess there will be no TV watching for awhile. Sucks.
Otherwise, have had a good couple of good food days - Thursday night was tuna cucumber avocado sushi, fried wontons with prawn filling, and seared tuna. Friday was salmon at the Italian place. Saturday was beef and tomato stew with cous cous and golden syrup dumplings (surprisingly good!) and today was banana nutella crepes. Oh, and I forgot to eat dinner tonight.
I'm going to bed now. Hope tomorrow will be a better day in the electric world.

Dude, I know what you mean. I think Laos is comparable to Indonesia, but we've recently splurged on a one-night stay at a nice hotel. Mmm.. clean comforters. And cold & hot water!
How was Cambodia? Any ATMs?
I stayed at some decent places in Cambodia. In Siem Reap was this place called Palm Village ($30/night for a really nice bungalow for 2) In Phnom Penh was the California 2 Guest house, $17 for a night.
Enough ATMs - they spit out US Dollars, which is funny!
