1. You're back is sore, likely from a long plane ride, and you're feet hurt from all that walking- why can't you just drive everywhere, including those four blocks, like you do back home?
2. You don't recognize most of the smells. They usually involve, but are not limited to, new spices and foods, different body odors, and sometimes even human waste. Yay.
3. You're sick of what you're wearing, and you only have a few shirts to rotate through.
4. You have a ziploc bag full of dirty underwear. And only a sink to wash them in.
5. Somehow, you manage to go the whole day without eating a piece of candy and you ask yourself "why can't I be this focused/busy to avoid snacking in the states?"
6. You carry your camera around, only to realize you've really only taken 4 pictures of the backs of heads and architecture.
7. You have no idea when you're next chance at internet access will arrive.

Glad to hear you've made it safely and excited to read about this new exciting chapter of your life!!
ReplyDeleteSo would now be a good time for me to send you that underwear I promised I would?
ReplyDeleteWe loooooooovvvveee youuuuuuu!! Can't wait to see those photos of the backs of people's heads. ;) Today as I was making breakfast, out of the blue I thought "Weird. Kate & Topher are in Cambodia right now. Wonder what they're doing... maybe eating dinner!" So I pretended I was eating with you.
ReplyDeleteShare the secret: How DO you stay busy enough to avoid snacking? :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it to Cambodia safely!
I knew I was in a foreign country when (four hours into the search for my hostel and no help because even though I was trying hard to speak the language no one could understand me) I started sobbing hysterically. It was raining and I was tired. I'm probably the only person who would cry about it instead of making it a fun journey.
ReplyDeleteHope you have had no tears yet!!
Glad to hear you made it there safely!!
