On being gently and repeatedly murdered

Every day I spend in Siem Reap I am killed by cuteness.

My hostel has balconies overlooking a busy street. Yesterday I was heading down for breakfast and I stood for a moment to watch the traffic go past. Motorcycles (motos) with girls in long skirts riding sidesaddle. Motos carrying three Cambodians and a

brilliant photos...as usual.

the first one with the kid sporting the school uni and pink backpack gets me all sentimental. of course all kid pics--especially Asian kid pics--get me sentimental.

and i love the man with his feet in a bucket of water reading a book.

by the way, just curious, is it super humid during this time of the year there?

Not as humid as Bangkok! Really I am not so familiar with this concept of humidity that I can step outside and go "gosh, it's humid!" It's all just hot to me. The only gauge I have is other people complaining about humidity, or their hair. For instance, it must have been slightly humid, because dorm-mate Marnie complained that her hair was curly in Siem Reap.

Here in Bangkok I got my hair cut yesterday, and they made it nice and straight so that it didn't kick out over my ears or anything, and then pretty much as soon as I stepped outside it kinked up again.

Also when I leave my packet of Oreos open they get soft within about about half an hour.

That means humid?

Firstly: Your French host can't be French? That's too funny?

My French host is French, what?
He looks pretty French. He even SOUNDS pretty French. I think he's a Frenchy.

Because i thought it was too funny for someone who had English as their second language to say. BUt I have been corrected :)

His English seems pretty splendid. He did say "vanish" instead of "faint" which confused me for a bit. As in: "...and then you'll vanish".

But dude, you need to go out with more cute foreigners with bad English. They're hilarious!
