Looking forward to....
- fruit w/ salt and chili

- learning to read and write more than just "I have a duck."

| kngom meehn teeah |
- white sand beaches with warm ocean water
- being in the same country as my parents
- traveling and exploring more of Cambodia
- teaching English
- making new friends
- reconnecting with old friends
Not looking forward to...
- the staring, staring and more staring (it's not considered rude to stare at people, especially foreigners)
- turning down beggars (if only there were no limits to giving)
- bartering at the market
- the mosquitoes, giant cockroaches, rats, and other pests
- blackouts
- being far away from Seattle family and friends
- feeling like you have to shower all the time, even after you have just showered (temperature ranges from low 70's to high 90's)
- losing intimacy with close friends (which tends to happen with distance *sigh*)
