Sooo...I' pretty much fluent in Khmer. No I'm just kidding, but I am living with these old ladies and they only speak and understand good Khmer. So my language skills are definetly improving and my teacher agrees that I pronounce my words very well. But making sentences are pretty hard for me. The flow just isn't there yet, but I gotta be patient with myself and recongnize that I've only been here now for about a week and a half, so I'm doing good! For the pass week I've moved from the hotel to my host family, met the provincial vice-governor, bowed to Buddha( I pray to God for forgiveness idk if it was a sin or more so just fitting it...but I felt bad bowing before another God nonetheless), meeting an ambassador today, and most importantly I cried. I usually don't cry which I use to take pride in, but now it has gotten to the point where I don't even no my own emotions because I have ignored them for so long. So it was very cathartic to cry :)...Overall I'm doing well, but my period is coming so I'll get back to y'all lol!

Yeah Buddha isn't a God, he's just a dude who achieved enlightenment and people just follow him and commemorate him since he is the first to do it. So it is all good :D (plus when I do non-Christian ritual/prayers, I jsut make it for good ole Jesus and God)
I love the pics though, I hope you have more!I want the fits, I want all the sunsets/sunrises, scenery, and food: please don't hold back!
And I am glad you are crying, like you said it is very cathartic. Honestly, I feel like we are switching because I feel like I am becoming apathetic so when I feel myself about to crying I just suck it back it (kind of…
eeek !! so exciting, i still cannot believe you are really there right now! I thought Buddha was just like an admirable/enlightened guy, not a god tho...so issok?? I hope you get settled in the next few weeks but I'm sure there are a bunch of crazy changes coming at you right now. I feel like it would be kind of wild if you didn't cry tbh. And gl with your period queen :'(
