    Today is my one month anniversary being here in Cambodia. It’s hard to believe. I’ve accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. But most importantly I feel settled. At the end of a day scooting around town in tuktuks and generally communicating by hand gesture, it’s nice to come back to our little…

    Here’s another one, because I like how unique each one is. I feel like Phnom Penh has a very entrepreneurial spirit. However, for better or worse, this mean everyone is selling something.

    If you guess aerobics class, you were right! At one point they were even jamming out to a dance version of “Hotel California.” I was really tempted to join in, but alas, I forgot my sneakers at home.

    I’ve been in and out of “school” settings since college, but learning language takes me right back to grade school. And, some days I feel about as smart as a 2nd grader. I just hope I don’t have to feel like I’m in middle school again.

    Found these kiddos by the market. I tried to say “hi” but either my Khmer was atrocious, or they were too shy to respond. Good thing smiling and being cute is universal.

    These guys (and gals) are everywhere selling everything from smoothies to squid kabobs to something that tasted like a waffle cone sprinkled with coconut (I have yet to taste the kabobs). Some are the push-cart variety and some are attached to a moto and some have a more permanent location. My favorite is the coffee…

    I’d like to share a bit of the other side of Phnom Penh. This is the capitol city with most of the modern day conveniences. Yes, I shop in crowded markets and the best produce is found under an umbrella on the side of the road, but we also have grocery stores and packaged meat…

    Today in language class we learned time. Khmer have a word for anywhere from the top of the hour to 15 min past, and the same for 15 till. Khmer have a relationship oriented culture; the person in front of you is more important than being on time. I’m not sure what’s happening here in…
