I AM ALIVE!

June 19th, 2009

Hellllooooo…

I’ve been offline for a few weeks now and it has actually been quite a liberating experience. I’m having fun here in Cambodia. My base of operations has been my uncle’s (dad’s younger bro) house… which is situated right next to a prison! Meeting relatives that I have never met before has been wonderful. Everyone is extremely kind to me and they all take care of me because I’m such a wuss. My lower legs were covered with red spots that were assumed to be mosquito bites. It turned out to be some kinda allergic reaction or something. Apparently it is quite common with people who come here. My sister had the same thing. I went to a clinic, got a shot along with some meds, and I’ve gotten much better. The bad thing is that I am a big time scratcher and because of that I have quite a few scars now.

My buddies Carlos and Fancy made it here safely after some complications with their flights. Everything is more enjoyable when your friends are with you. I am currently in Siem Reap with my mom, two cousins, and Carlos+Fancy. We spent the day checking out the temples at Angkor, then hit the Night Market, and finished off with some grub on the street.

I’m just backing up photos right now and don’t know what else to write so… PEACE!

I promise to try and think of something interesting to post!
