I accept your (drunken loud Saturday night) challenge, Oli!
A friend of mine (yes, Oli) told me that he enjoyed my blog. I was honoured. He then also told me that I focused too much on the negatives. I rant. He may just be right…. My aim is to ventilate with a bit of comedy and sarcasm, whinge and whine about daily life in a foreign country that I choose to live in, let out steam. It works for me and if I can make somebody laugh in the process of it, all is well. It is actually an interesting question: what DO I like about Cambodia and living here? It shouldn’t be a question too hard to answer considering that after 4 years I continue to live here, relatively sane – although some of you may object to this statement. When I look through my photos they all pretty much summarize what I like about Cambodia but since I was challenged to a written word account, I will tell you that: · I like to live in a single layer of clothes pretty much all year round. · I like my multicultural mixture of friends, collection of cool people from all corners of the globe, majority of them are called Anna. A good bunch really. · I like the fact that I live on the doorstep of Angkor, once in a lifetime trip for many. I pinch myself sometimes. · I like ice coffee with milk from the market. · I like wide open spaces, green rice fields, blue skies, cows and water buffalos. · I like that Cambodians like my nose. · I like bike rides through the countryside, smiling locals and friendly hellos. · I like cheap beer and the fact that going out to eat doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. · I like documenting everything in pixels. · I like the fact that I managed to get enough “I like” without having to think too hard. It must be a good sign. With a new week approaching it’s a relief to know that it’s a good Cambo life after all. Thanks, OliJ

Never still, always on the move, looking for the perfect capture... Cambodia is currently my home, presenting endless opportunities.... WarningIn this blog you will find no profound wisdom.
Just accounts of daily life, sometimes about photography, often about wine, occasionally about travel adventures and sometimes about nothing at all. So enjoy. Archives
