Hello, friends!
The Cambodian trip was unlike anything that I expected,
in a good way. In fact, it was so good that there were some things I didn’t
miss that I was sure I would be missing during my time there. Let’s run down
the list, shall we?
Hot showers. Most of the showers that we took while we
were in Cambodia were cold showers and they were GLORIOUS. When it’s 90+
degrees outside, a cold shower is actually quite refreshing.
American Food. I’ve already talked about the food somehere but I’ll just say it again. The food in Cambodia was
DELICIOUS. I could have stayed there another year (or more!) and not gotten
tired of eating the deliciousness. Seriously, guys, it was really good.
The Internet. The internet situation could be described
as “spotty” at best and I didn’t really miss it. I didn’t check emails because
I was trying to stay fully present. I stayed off Facebook for the same reason.
I wasn’t totally missing the Cardinals so I didn’t need to spend a bunch of
time reading about their exploits over the month of July. It was kind of nice.
Driving. I mentioned earlier about the traffic situation
and such in Cambodian but that was coupled with the fact that I didn’t actually
have a car or enough of a sense of the city to be able to drive anywhere
anyway. Tuk tuks, motos, and walking were fine by me.
Cardinals Baseball. I know, this probably sounds like sacrilege
and was definitely the one that surprised me the most. I was still able to
catch a few games (they were morning games on account of the time change, which
was kind of cool) but I wasn’t as enthralled with them as I am when I’m
stateside (as Megan can attest).
I definitely loved my time there and can say that it was
much better than I’d expected. It’s amazing what you things are totally part of
my life now but are really non-essentials.
Have an excellent day!
