Jaffa.

Its amazing how God can take you on a complete 180 turnaround. Last week so many exiting things were going on that going overseas was the very last thing I want to do. As well as expecting a lot out of this trip, I was worried about the kind of environment I was being submerged in and worried that I'd get really homesick. But I love Cambodia. Absolutely every bit of it. From the squat toilets to the ants that eat you to the free wifi and tuk tuks everywhere. From the lol chinglish to the life risking lack of road rules and even to the beggars. I love every part of it. There is no place I'd rather be. I have shocked myself and everyone around me at how quickly I have picked up the language. In just two days I have learnt how to say so many things and I can communicate a bit with the locals. I'm pretty much Asian. And I thought I'd given up on my dream of ever being bilingual! Words cannot describe how much ive fallen on love with this place. As soon as I arrived I knew that I was exactly where I needed to be, maybe not forever but this will undoubtedly be my second home. My heart is for cambodia and its people. The 39 degree hear and constant drip of sweat down my back doesnt even bother me anymore. I'm not even going to start on how precious the children are....my gosh. I never want to leave this place. Ever. Li hao wi!!
