That's better. Now I shall answer your questions.
1. I am in Spain because I have been travelling around the world for the last 4 years and Spain is where I was when the shit hit the fan.
2. Visa card hasn't worked well since Indonesia two years ago and has been almost dead since colombia this time last year, something to do with the chip. The mastercard has been wrapped in cotton wool and doubled bag to keep it from getting damaged.
3. I only learnt enough Khmer to get by at markets/ shops / teaching abc to bumpkins etc. I never had a khmer girlfriend and the khmer friends I had all spoke pretty good English, plus I am a lazy bastard and found it easier to teach a language than to learn one. In fact, my French teacher at school told me one day after two years of studying that I would never master a foreign language and therefore should hope to master my own and sent me off to the " extra English" class where all the other misfits, layabouts, future criminals plus one soon to be spin bowler for England were and where I made some good friends.
Any more unrelated questions to my predicament?
