I'm sure I'll forgot how it used to be so here's a list:
- Our child does all their own daily medicine. 3 years ago Soeun did most of it, then I started doing some, then I was doing it the most, then the child joined in (thanks tickleflex) and we 3 were all taking turns. Since the end of last year he pretty much does all the injections himself.
-No tickets needed for the roads in the temple park, only for going into the temples. The rules have changed a few times over the last 10 years that I've lived here. The most recent happened in September last year, just in time for our family visit. They did buy a ticket and spend a day visiting the famous temples. But before that we had a tuk tuk ride through the park, about 30km that would not have been possible just the month before (until after 5:30) We could do the big circle, just by passing Angkor Thom. With a stop at Srah Srang.
In October they even removed the ticket huts my children and I were so used to seeing everytime we went into town and back again. We always had to yell out to the ticket checkers that we were just going to town, not seeing the temples. Its bizarre those huts aren't there anymore but soon we'll forget it was normal.
-I started using the banking app QR code. Up until the end of last year I was paying most things with cash, Soeun and many others were already using the app. Even many small vendors at the market use it, and tuktuk drivers. Its so convientant I keep forgetting to get cash out these days, There is also one place I shop that takes visa debit card, but cash is still easier generally.
-Our kids started riding bikes in the yard together. A new way to have fun. A nice quick exercise break for a school morning.
-New Bible study group started in October. I've been meeting with a group of English speaking ladies for Bible study weekly. It was getting too big. Around the start of October last year, we split the group and started meeting as 2 new groups.
