There are only a couple of days until my summer ends. I head back to San Francisco on the 20th and I get back to Ny on the 29th and that is way too soon. My summer went way too fast. At a speed of light. Bam.
Blah.
Right now, i'm in angkor wat and i've already spent 3 days Sunrise Children's village which was a teaspoon of delight. Thankfully, they have lots and lots of internet connection here.. so i've been taking full advantage of it. It's a little different than I to I (which was the orphanage i volunteered last month) because most orphans come from families that fled from thailand. They also serve as a homebase for the orphans rather than a education center (such as I to I). Employment is 'secured' after the children turn 18 in which they have to leave the orphanage and i find that pretty cools.
I'm not going to ramble on and on about how amazing and blah blah blah this trip was because i've already set my sentimentalness on the previous posted blog. But.. its so different to be here alone. I feel like i'm lost in translations. Literally. I don't know how to speak Khmer and its pretty hard to get around.. especially when your by yourself. Nat studied Khmer before she came so she knew a little.. well, enough to get around, but, me on the other hand knows not even a little to get around. My flight leaves back to Taipei tomorrow morning at 6:30am and that will officially be my last flight in asia for this summer. I will be flying to Narita again to switch flights back to SFO but that doesn't count.
I'm going to be sad leaving everyone especially my grandparents.
Anyways, i have to enjoy my last few hours here in cambodia (and god who knows when i will ever come back to this beautiful place).
peace, love and hot dog,
