cambodia awesomeness

just got back from Cambodia a few days ago. still missing my Cambodian family.
awesome hospitality. awesome people.
they never failed to smile, even in such a harsh condition.
they taught me how to be contented easily.
it's so true that if you're on a right mission at a right country, instead of being a blessing to the people, you are blessed more by them.

it was a wonderful and pleasant trip, i don't know where to start telling my stories.
full of emotions.
pictures captured were wonderful. Cambodians will never shy away from my camera.
and i didn't know, not until now that camera can be a tool for bonding between two strangers.
i've never liked dealing with kids but now i've learnt how to.

ask me which part of the trip i hated most, it would be at the airport where we have to part ways. everyone tried to hold back tears. we know we just couldn't bear to leave each other.
no one knows when is the next time we gonna meet each other. in 1 year? or another 10 years?

the experiences i've got.
from clerking patients, playing with kids, experiencing village life in which electricity and water as the greatest obstacles, 19 people stuffed on a pick up truck, learning khmer language, the numbers of exotic food i've tried, witnessing the procedure of killing a cow, etc.
the best part is the laughters we shared.
language barrier is just a small problem in this trip, there are tons of ways to bond with each another as long as you have the heart to do so.

this trip totally changed my life. it shows me how fortunate i am.
and it also shows me, though it's only a lil' that i can do for them, but if i have the heart to do so, people will still be happy. a tiny help can make a difference.

                          

a picture speaks a thousand words. will try to upload some of the best photos i've taken. soon.

p.s. i just remembered i freaking forgot to bring a stone back for my collection!!!! argghh!
