A Spider in the Squat Toilet

DATELINE: July 30, 2013

I went to fill the squirt bottles for ironing today. The nearest bathroom was locked. (Not working) Mony showed me another one, farther away. I opened the door to the toilet. It was a squat toilet with a plastic pan and a tank next to it. As I set down my back pack and faced the door, I noticed a spider the size of my hand. It was brown with fuzzy legs. Once at Socheata Hotel, Deanna and I had such a spider in our room. This time, I did not call for help.

The spider and I both minded our own business.

Later, I showed Mony the spider. He just looked at it.
