let's begin

i am often asked by friends and family "what is life really like in Cambodia?" this blog is an attempt to answer this question through anecdotes, thoughts and the occassional gripe. i would also like to introduce you to some of the amazing people i meet.

personally, it will be a kind of therapy tool for me. writing it down will help me process what is going on around me and maybe even tackle my insomnia. sure, a pen and paper beside my bed would be easier but then i wouldn't be able to share it with you, my friends. i am so thankful that you can join me on this journey. please ask questions, challenge my gripes, and share your thoughts.

and no, i don't have a self-esteem issue. i'm using lower case only because i am holding a baby while typing... sic vita (such is life).
