Turning 23 in Cambodia

That’s right folks, I leave Tuesday morning for my birthday extravaganza… i.e. turning 23 in Cambodia. I will go by train and head into Siam Reap on Tuesday where I’ve booked a hostel for $6.00 a night and am looking forward to seeing Angkor Wat! Then it’ll be off to Phonom Pohm on Thursday for a view of the river at with a glass of wine on the eve of my birthday and then another full day of touring before heading back for a celebration Bangkok style with only some of my favorite people Friday evening. I never thought that turning 23 sounded like that much fun, I mean what happens in your 23rd year of life, right? HOWEVER, I think I’m beginning the adventure the right way, in a new country (not to mention I’ll be spending my birthday in TWO different countries, Cambodia and back to Thailand in one day? Hopefully all the excitement will keep me energized!) Wish me luck! xox.

Of course I had to (try) to edit the photo a bit to preserve my safety, just in case.

Beautiful Singapore

I’m back in Bangkok and the new term started this week so I’m settling in, connecting with students and teaching once again. I’ve also been going through photos that I took while in Singapore and Malaysia this past week and as I’ve been looking at the photo’s from Singapore, I just keep thinking to myself, it’s so beautiful! I think what I am so impressed about is the fact that it’s a tiny country full of buildings, yet in the very middle they have some beautiful natural parks and honestly Singaporean’s just know how to take care of things. They’re smart! Enjoy some of the beauty!
