Sickness and life



I would like to start this post in a bit of a disgusting way. I HATE THROWING UP! So when I got my first case of food poisoning I got to reaffirm that thought in my mind. I'm on the mend now after a trip to the doctors and a crud load of Tiger Balm. Though the first night was HELL! Oh well these are the risks you take when you move to a country like this.OKay what's new since the last time I posted not to much. Although I think I am going to tell you all about a wonderful girl named Sarah that I have met here. She is kinda like my North American rock... (she says she is Slate or Limestone. Solid but soft)here. She lives in the same guest house as I do and we do alot together. It's weird though if we had met back at home we would never have been friends, well maybe friends but never would have hung out together. She is very sweet though and I care for her lots. We look out for each other! It's a nice feeling to have honestly, you can only take hanging out with UKer's and Aussies for so long. It's weird too as all the Canadians I know here are either from Edmonton or Calgary. Oh sorry there is one guy that I have met from London. I don't get it...Okay I have to finish later as I need to run for food now that I can eat again and stores open soon. I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HUNGRY!!!!Hugs and Kisses, Me of course!

Life and Times



Hey all, It's me again and I know that I am not very good at keeping up my journal but a few things have been happening here. Firstly I no longer work at Western, it was a good school but to much stress and shit! So I have left there. I do however have another job teaching part time at the moment which is bringing in a good income for me. Though in December I should be moving up to full time which will bring a much nicer salary. Life here is good I have many friends and things seem to be finnally settling into a daily routine of actual life not just someone who is travelling around for a short term. Funny note: When asked by someone who my Prime Ministers name was I replied Hun Sen, as I truly didn't remember Paul Martin's name til my mom told me on the phone. We have a new King in Cambodia, he's a very handsome man though many have wonders about his gender preferance. The people seem to like him and so far the only gossip going on is when the King is going to get married. There has been more talk lately of how to address the OLD king, there was an article in the paper saying what he can be called. Though he has asked not to be called Hero or there is one other name and I will look it up it's rather funny actually. The rainy season was not as rainy as it should have been so there is alot of fears over food shortages this year. It is on everyone's minds. Not to mention that many US clothing factories are closing and moving to Vietnam, that is causing a stir too! Firstly it is leaving many unemployed, secondly they are moving to Vietnam. For those that don't know many but not all Cambodians blame the Vietnam people for ALOT almost everything.Oh right I have been seeing a Khmer guy for a little bit now. He is VERY sweet, kind, educated ... oh lets not forget HANDSOME!!!!! I'm going to post a picture of a bunch of us soon so you can all see him for yourselves. It's sweet to court someone, though I think soon I would like to be able to spend sometime with him and not have about 4 chaperones. Well I need to head out now but I will write more later, oh and I will post a new address where people can get mail to me. Anyways off to go spend the afternoon in the countryside. Hugs and Kisses to everyone!!!!
