Haha! I miss it too! There are days when I think "Oh no! I didn't write Aria yet!" and then I look around and remember I'm not in Cambodia anymore :(

Well I think my my stomach is finally used to eating processed American foods again. I decided to move back out here to La'ie just for the summer, but I haven't found housing or a job yet. Fingers crossed.

Corbin did find a job, teaching a Student Development class for brand new international students.  He loves it. 

Talk Story

It's something we do all the time in Hawaii, and something we so rarely get to actually do as teachers. 

"Chakrya came by herself today and neither of us were in a learning/teaching mood so I spent the time just talking with her; it's nice to just talk 1-on-1 because the student (sometimes) feels more at ease for asking questions (or it can be the exact opposite where they're really nervous). Fortunately Chakrya wasn't nervous at all, the time allowed me to just get her to talk, practice that really everyone needs. In our conversing she told me that because Khmer New Year is coming up (Apr. 13) some of the children are starting to leave for their homelands. At least one child has already left so I plan on going to the orphanage tomorrow to take pictures with as many of them as I can because more will leave over the weekend."
