"from 1970s to the early of the 1990's, this area was the hot fighting battle between Khmer Rough'

hahaha...oh man...
alright so while i did make a promise to myself to post LESS....i HAD to share that with y'all.

its sunday, the suns about to drop, i'm sitting on my floor drinking an iced espresso in a ridiculously large mug ATTEMPTING to edit a preliminary development report Bridges had done on Chamka Bei, a village we're headin out to next week to hold an open dev strategy workshop between us and the community [aka the KEP project...fast becomin my new baby...]

anyway, i'm not getting very far because i keep BURSTING out laughing. and i realise that for those who know me, i guess it isnt much of a surprise to hear i'm findin agricultural analysis HILARIOUS.... haha but the bad thing is the fact that i'm only catchin these little 'lost-in-translation- gems the 2nd or 3rd read-through...ooops.


ha. ah dear. sry.

in other news, i have eaten waaay too much tom yam soup today. ugh.

oh, and the clouds painted a highlighter-pink upside down exclamation point at sundown tonight.

and theres a massive baby shower banquet taking place on the sidewalk outside our house as i write this. the yellow satin tents went up this morning and now our front door opens into the makeshift kitchen that seems to be catering enough food to keep the 100-odd khmer sitting outside on plastic chairs at full banquet tables in their most formal dress full for at least the next 4 days. this country is awesome.

anyway, tis all. miss you. love you. please write.
