Wildlife

Today I saw a child standing by a sewer laughing and pointing at a large rat. I took note that it was much furrier than other rats that I have seen, then I quickly moved on.
That night, I noticed a lizard was tucked between the fluorescent light bulb and the wall. It was about 6" or 7" inches long and it just laid there soaking up the light. I named him "Zinny" in honor of my friend Otis and Hivy's Christmas Tree lizard who passed away recently. I'm not sure where Zinny went when I turned out the light and I'm not sure that I want to know.
Since I stopped working with CRAWL, I had to vacate the guest house I was staying in after only 7 days, even though I still had to pay CRAWL for 2 weeks rent and another "donation" fee on top of that. The more I thought about it the more something seemed wrong with the organization.
I moved from the neighborhood where I was staying to the backbacker/tourist area. I did this because it was much closer to Mother Teresas as well as having more options for transportation. I was sad to leave my area since I had gotten use to being there and had even become familiar with some of the shop keepers in the neighborhood. One in particular was a seamster. I'm figuring that's what you call a male seamstress? I ripped two different pairs of pants and he's sewed them up for me right on the spot.
When I got to the backpackers' area I found out that most of the guest houses were full. I moved into a really shitty guest house in the meantime in hopes that a better one would open up tomorrow. That's when the sickness hit.
