I’m going-going… back-back to…

CAMBODIA!!!?
I am going to Cambodia for the first time since immigrating to Canada all those years ago. It’s going to be quite interesting for me since I’ve never really gone anywhere. Being an introvert by nature, I prefer familiar sights/smells/sounds, travelling the usual routes, and doing the usual things. All the new stuff I’m going to experience on this trip is going to make my head explode! If it doesn’t, I’m sure the heat will get me. It looks like I’ll be coming home much browner than I am now. In all seriousness though, there will many opportunities for me to learn about my own culture and where I come from–something that even a dumb-ass like myself can appreciate. If I don’t learn anything, at least I’ll get to tingle my tastebuds with a veritable cornucopia of gastronomic delights! Ah yes, the ’sweet’ smell of Cambodian Cheese…
Something that makes this journey extra special is the fact that I will be joined by my best friend Carlos (don’t be jealous Fronda) and my coolest friend Fancy (don’t be jealous Fronda) in mid-June. We’ve had occasional impromptu Khmer training sessions over the past few weeks and I think that they have been picking up the language quite well. Although, I’m not too certain how far Carlos is going to get with “Hello. My name is Mr. Cat!”
At least we will make cool pictures!
PEACE.
