Family visit

My in laws are visiting today, they will stay a few nights. I always feel stressed just before they come and when they are here. Not that they do anything in particular to make me stressed. I get stressed partly because usually our house is my place to rest, away from everything that is exhausting. Maybe like a rest from Cambodia. I'm enjoying learning Khmer, but its tiring communicating across language and culture. And other cultures do things different ways, I guess my home is one space where things can be normal for me, where I can control things, I know what is happening and how to do things. When things are strange and out of control it can be stressful (it can also be fun and interesting). So when 3 Cambodians come to stay in my house for a few nights, my own space sort of disappears. Hopefully as I get more used to things here it won't be such a big deal.
