It's 10PM and I'm on the bus from the Thailand border back to Phnom Penh. ETA--3AM. I'm so tall and the woman in front of me is inconsiderate so I'm sitting sideways with my feet in the walkway hahaha.
I've been in Thailand for the past 13 days. It originally a 4 day trip. But I met someone and kind of fell into a fairy tale. I saw so much of Bangkok and then spent 4 days on Koh Samed island. It was a dream. I fell fast and I'm sad to leave but I know I'll be back and until then I have all the memories!!
Anyway, back to the amazing, lovely, dusty, dirty Phnom Penh. It's funny how all 4 of those words actually describe the city at the same time.
I have to go to an all day conference on corruption for work tomorrow starting at 8AM...so I need to sleep on this bus. Ill get some pictures up soon from Thailand.
Good night friends!!

BAM!
Super excited! It's been a quiet couple of weeks in Phnom Penh. In the office Monday through Friday working, brainstorming, napping during the daily afternoon thunderstorms (aka afternoon flood).
All this time with no posts was not wasted, though!! A new volunteer Keisha is here at my placement and we have been working great together. She is a former news reporter from California and has excellent video editing skills. JUST WHAT WE NEEDED!
We used all of Vishnu and I's pictures and interviews from the village and put together an amazing video. The video raises awareness about land eviction in Cambodia and also zooms in on our village and how to help. We finally got a PayPal account set up and doing everything the organized, right way! Haha.
Lots of effort and editing went into this video. Please, check it out!

So, really this time, I'm planning to go to Bangkok the middle of this month over the holiday here. And this Sunday I am going to some temples outside of the city. Some even older than Angkor Wat! It's crazy I've been here over 2 months and I've only been to Kompong Thom where the village is, and 3 nights in Vietnam. I need to get out of the city more, I'm running out of time! =( It's depressing thinking about it.
Anyway, I hope you guys watch the video and somewhat understand a little better what is going on here! Thanks again for keeping up with my trip =)
