Rumors of death (power) greatly exaggerated

Looks like Erik will be blogging when the mood hits him, at his convenience. Yay!
Hi,
I read an article where you said you live on $2 a day in Phnom Penh- just curious how this is possible and if it includes rent. Thanks!
[FYI: Questions not directly related to the post above are probably better addressed via the email link...]
I don’t live on $2 a day, although many people in Cambodia live on this or less. Me, I prefer to have things like medical insurance on hand. (I can do it, but having done it, prefer my creature comforts.) It all depends on just how cheap you’re willing to go, and what suffices as food and shelter.
Actually, in the Western world, there are all kinds of ways to live cheaply too. http://www.boingboing.net/2008/04/01/homeless-people-disg.html
Hey Jinja, thanks for the link – I’ve been too backed up to get here until now, but….(again)….thanks!
